Nice light, great exposure and I also like the darker background. I am guessing (??) the crop resulted because you did not like the ground/floor etc .. I am wondering about a little tighter crop that comes across just about an inch down from where the arms start at the chest.. maybe about an inch and a half up from the bottom of the picture.. Scrolling up and down on the screen it just seems more pleasing there to my eye.. Thanks for contributing to the forum.. Other then the above I cant think of a single other suggestion. Nice work..

Nice looking cat. I agree with Dennis on the crop. It looks awkward to me cropping right above the paws-below the shoulders looks better IMHO. Otherwise a lovely shot. thanks for sharing.

Good shot Tim but would prefer Dennis's crop. It's always best to crop near joints, seems more natural that way IMO.

Another vote for a shoulder crop on this one, but nice shot Tim.
