I love this picture! I took it about 4 years ago. I used to take care of these three stray cats, and this the youngest one.

| Cute cat! The photo itself is kinda neat, but I wish the lighting on the cat was a bit better. The leaves are a neat color, but I do wish they had less glare. All in all I think this photo has potential. 6/10.

This is a good photo, though I wonder if you could resize it as it's stretching the board and also, hard to view properly. I think it lacks focus where some of the top leaves are concerned and would probably suggesting trimming the top just a little.
It's lovely how the leaves seem to frame the picture at the left and right and the cat itself is beautiful. The focus on the eyes and markings is perfect.
However, while this is a nice, interesting photo, it's more domestic than creative.

| Thank you guys for your comments. Truth be told, i wasn't even trying to be creative when i took it. I was actually really young, iwas about 11. I just thought it was cute so i put it up. By the way, can somebody teach me how to reduce the size, it is quite annoyong.

This picture is soooo huge! @_@
Is there any way you can downsize it? Because I had to make my browser window as big as possible so it was filling my whole screen (and I have a big screen), and even then I couldn't see more than half of it at a time.
But from what I did see, it seems like a really cute picture. Almost like one of those pictures you see on puppy/kitty calendars. You know? Those perfect, adorable photos that make you want to pick up the fuzzy little animal and hug them? Lol. Those eyes are gorgeous. 
You may want to make the contrast higher, and make it a little less bright, though.
And if you could change the size that would be lovely...

I know I'm a little late, but I just wanted to say welcome to the young writers society  ! Hi, I'm Brooke by the way.  Ok, back to the picture. I like this. You captured the cat well and the leaves don't over flow the picture. Pretty kitty! I have a cat of my own. Her name is Tiffany and she's 9. Anyway, keep taking pretty pictures like this one. See you on the flip side!

So big! It took me an hour just to find the kitty. Really cute, though!
If you have a program like paint, open it up in that, and then change the percentages of the sketch and skew under "image" at the menu at the top. I think maybe 50% or so would be a better size, that would probably fit the page better.

Wow, is this a Calico Cat? Also, we have a Post Your Pet Pic thread, let me know if you want that link. I might be able to help you make it smaller! what program do you have this picture saved in?
Very cute, get back to me when you can!

Thank you so much! i finally figured out how to downsize it! I hope this is better! I would love the link for the thread! Actually, i have no clue what type of cat this is, it was stray and i just raised it.
Nice to meet you Brooke! Thank you for the warm welcome!

AWW! It's such a cute kitty!
Now, did you use a flash on the camera? If so it kind of took away from the pic. If you look, you can see the glare on the leaves. In some cases, I think the flash is necessary...but in others it is not.
I am glad you made it much smaller then before, because it was hard to see when it was huge. (That made no sense) I mean it was harder to observe it when it was big?
I don't know what I’m saying...good job on pic.
