This is such an endearing shot of a young boy with his beloved cat, and the expressions on both their faces are captivating. It’s a great study of the bond that exists between children and their pets. The shallow depth of field does a great job of isolating the subjects against their background, and the central positioning works brilliantly. The tonal range across the image is spot on and the high contrast with the vignetting adds impact to the portrait.
