Hi Miguel, this is really a eye catching photo. Great shot! The only critique is about the background line which is diagonal and a bit distructing. Thanks for sharing.

very blurry photo....your depth of field is too shallow...there is a rotation problem with the background but that not necessarily detracts....if the entire kitten was in focus it would be much better composition....the whites are blown...or burned too much and it takes away detail. What is your camera?....if it is capable of burst shots of different exposures then I would definitely use it in these lighting conditions. Nice kitty ...nice timing...snapshot photo..

Very fun shot. Perfect focus. The fabric on the couch is somewhat distracting. Very cute shot. Thanks for posting. I am looking forward to seeing more images of this guy

So cute! A little more depth of focus would be nice. I'd love to see it shot on an all-white background, too. Enjoy that little darling!

pay attention to the white and the pink that are a little bit too dazzling. how tender is this kitty! beautiful subject, but the laying and the colors damage some bother. try to damp them with photoretouch. thanks for sharing

love the position you capture with all four paws showing... wonderful color and sharp focus on the face and eyes... exposure is good but you lost detail in the chin area where the whites from chin and chest meet still a sweet shot and a nice finish to your series... Georgia

Hi Georgia, I appreciate your very valuable critique. It is difficult to keep good detail with these contrasty tones/colors since the light was also coming from that direction. I noticed the white flat areas, I still seeing at least the countour of the chin's shape. Thank you for all your comments.

Hi Miguel. You did a great job on photographing this kitten. The DOF on the face and sharpness really bring out the details of the face and especially with the bright eyes. Nice crop and lighting. I wish they would stay that small! Thanks for sharing. Regards

Many thanks Shawn. I'm glad you like it. I had a bit of self struggle about the cropping, then I did cropp a bit from the left. Yes, those eyes are charming, they are currently switching to yellow as the kitten grow up. ;)
