Description Am so in love with this shot of him. I was finally able to get a side on one with his eye sharp and in focus - insanely hard to do, hehe.

Wow, the first thing that hit me when I saw this photo was those eyes! Even though small, the focus is clear and sharp and drew my attention immeditately. His (sorry if it is a she) eyes are so focused on looking forward, this captured my own eyes to it. Along with his smooth hairs on his face, which shade away into his eyes.

The background is perfectly blurred to create the bokeh effect, calming the background colours, to again bring the attention back to those sharp eyes.

The good ole rules of thirds, has also been carefully composed. The comp in this photo, has brought the viewers attention the cat and then the main focus to his sharp eyes.

Overall, this is a great photograph. Carefully taken to capture the viewers attention to his eyes, with a great DOF to bring the viewers attention to the eyes e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" /> Well done

Thanks so much for the critique Yes, I was really happy with the clarity of his eye, I think it was a total fluke The background was very fortunate, too

Thanks again!

You are most welcomes
Yea amazing clarity The background was caused by the DOF on the eye, which is an added bonus eh
Anytime!

I wanted to write a critique but only subcribed members can so .... critique in a comment :

The firts thing i noticed is the nicely blurred and mild bokeh. I love the rings It should be becouse the relatively high focal length ... so the debth of field is perfect. The face of the cat is sharp however her/his ears are missing for me ... maybe if crop a little less from the top or the picture, if its possible. Hope it helped you

All in all a great shot

Cheers ....

Thanks very much I could try cropping a little but there's not much room for it.
