Nice contrast - but seem a bit dark - might be this computer or your scan, hard to see the cat'a face in shot #2, but I don't think that really distracts from the picture - I think it may have been better in colour; shot #1 needs more look space for a profile. Can you tell us about the type of film or is it digital?

Whoa that first shot totally looks like my cat! :shock:

The first picture in the best to me. The attitude of the cat really shines and that is important to capture. The picture does appear a little dark and what appears to be shadow behind the cat's head is a little distracting.

Overall nice shot. 8)

i am just wondering- if you have black cats and ok lighting- do you use a red filter or do you think a light color filter would bring out the dark better? nice pics- i have a black lab so i am just wondering

thanks for the feedback guys.
They were taken on my digital camera, in color and then I changed them to black and white. The moniter I did that on was very bright so I made the pics darker than I had intended to.

I don't think i would use any filters on these cats, maybe a blue filter if you were shooting color indoors, but cats aren't generally still enough for the f/stop loss. I kinda like the first pic, the second doesn't do much for me though.

The first pic i think could be stronger if cropped. A little tighter like this would be cool. I think this is really where your best picture is, IMHO.

Some might even like a really tight crop, the paw is cute, but it may detract from the impact of the photo. i can't decide between the two myself, but either would be stronger i think.

Anyways, never be afraid to cut up your pics to really draw attention to your subject, sometime you may find you cut out alot of what you like in a picture to end up with the strongest final result.

thanks for the advice
and to the "you stole my girlfriend's cat" person: haha close. they do look rather similar but obviously it is unlogical that I would have 'stolen' your girlfriend's cat. Same breed though. We have good taste in cats.

Hey Havoc, nice job on the first crop. Talk about a cat with an attitude!! 8)

I agree cropping can help tremendously in some pictures.
