He didn't like my camera very much. I had to make it smaller, and post in black in white due to bad color and gritty quality. I had to share cuz he was adorable. =)

Just like a little kid in its shyness Nessa. A little peek-a-boo for you to let you have a shot. Good one.

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

The expression you captured is great.

Particularly like what the eyes convey as they are most evocative.


Compositionally?

For me, and not knowing what was in frame or how you cropped this one.. the tree is a little too dominant. Simply put ... too much.

If at all possible, recropping and placing the eyes in the right-hand side with some space off to the left might work.

/\ Mention this as a suggestion only.

Typically, because of how 'we' view stuff ... left to right ... our eyes see those eyes and are arrested, and what is left to view ... is that of the tree. Thinking that the visual interest is not quite there with that element given the DOF you employed.


Insofar as 'rescuing' your photo with some post processing? Nice work.

... ...

... ...

Huh. Interesting. Just downloaded your image here and was going to mess around with it in Photoshop. And subsequently, the tonal range once the image was opened up ... is significantly better than what the site is displaying.

Anyways.. for another look, more so on the compositional stuff ... here you go.


That drivel of mine aside..

The only real caveat, in my humble opinion, is that of how you cropped and composed.

And to reiterate, you made some good good creative choices in your post processing and in turn, transforming your photo.

And ... the grain wasn't all that noticeable to my eyes at this resolution size. So, once again, nice work.

... ...

(*stops and rereads above words*)

I really need to cut down on the caffeine.

:oP


Thanks for sharing this cutie with us. :o)

Nessa, you have an excellent shot here. Yes, the concerns expressed above are valid and given to you with only an interest in helping you develop.

You have an amazing talent and I look forward to your posts.

Since this is a "desktop" site, if you could post in larger sizes, your pictures would fit better on desktops.

"Shy," regardless of the tree and of the size, is, however, bringing me enjoyment on my screen as I am typing this.

Best regards ~~ John

It a very cute image! The crop might be a little tight but I dont think it hurts the image at all. You have caught a very adorable image here!
