Lazy Cat

[spesh]

I took this photo a couple of weeks ago in Italy, just thought it was about time to get a critique on it to see what people think...

So let me know your thoughts on the photo with regards to, well everything that makes a good photo.

I think the shadows in the display box are pretty annoying, so ignore those in your comments

Thanks

straigthen him up for starters i reckon! I think the LHS of the display case needs to be parallel with the edge of the picture imo.

Spesh,

I'll echo your comments on the reflections in the glass. They are somewhat distracting. Also, I'm not really sure what the picture was intending to capture... I'm assuming for the title of your post, the cat is what you thought was interesting..? That said, maybe you should have framed to place the emphasis on the cat.

In all fairness (full disclosure), I take a lot of shots like this! And only recently, through spending some time looking at the works and commentary of others here, and elsewhere, that I have become aware of this phenomenon. It's made me look a little more critically, both through the viewfinder, and at the screen afterwards. Really, it's a good thing!

Keep shooting. I am. And keep posting here... It is a fountain of experience and knowledge.

with photopotamus and Gerry.

1. Figure out what you want to photograph. [mood, color, subject etc]
2. Emphasise it.
3. Cut out any distractions.
4. Press the shutter.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 in the dark or lightroom

Keep em coming.

Thanks guys... I guess these kind of comments are exactly what I am after

I guess I need to adjust what I think is good as a holiday snap, into something that is actually capturing something!
