Great contest!

This photo is very good. The colour pallet with the different shades of green makes it feel like a very natural garden exploration for the cat. And the focus on the cat itself is excellent which can be difficult to achieve with moving pets!

Now this is a playful cat! The level of fun in this image is catching and it just makes you smile instantly! It must have been a challenge to get this photo in focus and the cats position makes the image even better! Wonderfully fun!

Well done! I love this image and its creativity. I like the choice of angle for photographing this cat. It makes me think of when cats climb over you on your lap and the way they can invade personal space! The detail in this image is very impressive and though most portraits of animals encourage a focus on the eyes the focus on the nose really works here.

This is a stunning image and very impressive. I love the choice to use black and white (mainly white) as it really captures your attention. The focus on the eyes as the only source of darker focus in the image means it draws you in. Very nice!

Congratulations on first place! I love this image. Its a fun photo with skill as well. It can be challenging taking photos of dark colored cats due to lighting but this photo is great. I love the curious nature of the cat which is really portrayed well. The slight fabric texture of the foreground adds to the overall image as well. Love it, meow!

Congratulations on third place! Well deserved for this image. It can be very difficult to capture a good photo of a black cat due to lighting and camera focus but the eyes and their colour in this image really add a pop as well as the lighting choices. I love the detailed focus on the face allowing you to see each whisker. Well done!

Well done. I love the colour contrast in this photo with the orange of the cat sat against the background of the blue which gives it a real pop. The choice to keep it cropped close and keep surroundings simple means the cat is the real focus of the image. The cats expression also adds to the photo and I love how he seems to be daydreaming.

I love the composition of this image! Its very different and unique and portrays a cat completely differently to other portrait style photos! If I were to make some recommendations you might find straightening the image may be more aesthetically pleasing. Love your outside the box thinking!

Great image here. I love the lighting choice and the almost silhouette look of the cat. The profile face adds to the image and the detail in the whiskers and eyes is amazing! The cats expression really adds to the photo with a look of a serious portrait.
