    The first shot would have been really nice without the hand, I find it
    intrusive in the photograph and takes away from the cat, the second is better a low angle is good but keep an eye on the background, uncluttered is best and slightly out of focus so f2.8 to f5.6 or thereabouts, third is nice and sharp I would be tempted to crop right in to reduce the surrounds slightly, dont reckon on the last shot much, again the hand is in the way maybe try the snake on a branch with a plain backdrop.

    All of the above meant kindly please dont take offence, and after all it is only my opinion :D

    Hi Milos

    Rainbowsend hit the nail on the head! Whereas they certainly don't lack sharpness or correct exposure - try to get the kitten in a nicer background (I know, they are bloody hard work!). A main issue is the make sure the eyes are nicely sharp and for composition try to get either a nice close-up (like the first one minus the hand) or a nice full body shot or just general fuzzy cuteness :o.

    The second one does the the least for me, I like the first one best. have a look www.petphotography.ie or www.shootmydog.ie, there are some fine examples there. Again, to confirm Rainbowsend, try the get the background more faded out by using a lower F number.

    Here's the best I could get them:

    All in all, they're not bad at all, just keep snapping away at the fuzzy cutie (and the snake but I don't like snakes :rolleyes:)!

    Is the first already cropped? If not i'd be tempted to go back and re-crop it straighter, [providing you don't lose anymore of her/his[?] ears] I'd probably have a go at upping the contrast too [which would probably darken kitty, but fill light might counter that]

    Not sure how much of a crop you'd get away with on the third, but looks like it has potential. The backing is way too distracting, kitty is a little lost in the scene. Try a tighter crop around her maybe?
