Hi
As title said this is simply a cat portrait, I did not know what to do while waiting for my wife shoping.

for some reason the cat looks shocked.

you didnt take this shot naked or something?? :lol:

seriously though, there is very little of interest in the frame either side of the cat, I think you need to portrait crop this.

I agree with Steve - did you tell the cat that if it didnt' stay still for the photo you'd skin it???? LOL
Go with the portrait crop, and it will make all the difference :)
Nice cat

Hi
Thank Rel and Steve, I've just tried to crop it and it does look better, I learnt alot from this forum :) , the reason the cat look at me because i hold a box of cat food in my hand to make it looking at me.

Hi Matt
I only wanted to experiment the fill flash with my 28-70 while waiting, and I am only less than 1 m from the cat, it turn out that the pics look a bit funny :o and sharp, now I know that light is one of the key of sharpness, this lens if stop down a bit ( f4 or smaller ) is a capable lens.

Strewth those eyes are hypnotising... :shock: Agree with the comments about the portrait style crop to remove the dead space...
