Aw, they're adorable. Well, not as adorable as snakes, but still. Anyway, love them.

First: It's cute, but the picture looks a bit blurred. I love how the ears are round instead of pointed. I've never seen cats with rounded ears before.

Second: Still a bit blurred, but I like it. The greyscale and perspective makes it look sinister. The light is positioned perfectly and the reflection in the eyes are great.

Third: I like that pose. The cat looks as if he's staring at you, and expecting you to do something. I don't know. The grass looks really nice. It could be just me, but he seems to say, "Well? Why aren't you dead already?"

Fourth: It could be just me, but I didn't really like this one. The lighting makes it look like part of Tony's body is missing, and his expression is weird.

Fifth: Aw... His face is just saying, "What did I do?" So cute! And I loved how you made the background blurred while keeping Tony sharp.

Sixth: This was good, but I think it would look better if we could see the eyes. The pose is good, the light is good, and I like the texture of the floor, but the eyes aren't that clear.

Seventh: I love this one. It was a great moment, and it just looks so tiny among the flowerpots. It does look like a moment of hide and seek.

Eighth: It could be just me, but this position seemed unnatural. There's a stiffness about the kitty, and it's odd. Sorry.

Ninth: It looks mad... and scary. But the shadows and textures really made it come to life. I'm sleeping with one eye open because of this.

Tenth: This one's adorable! The kittens looked like twins or something, and it was just so cute! I'm sorry I can't say anything other than that.

Eleventh: This one is a bit odd. The face of the kitty takes up most of the view, and the part that isn't kitty face just intrigues me. I think it would look nicer if we could see a bit more of the background.

Twelfth: This was great, but the brightness from underneath looked a bit too much. I liked the background and how you kept it sort of mysterious, and the eyes of the cat. Cat's eyes always get me in photos like this, and you captured them perfectly!

I'm sorry that I can't say much, but they were awesome photos. Great work with this one!
There once was a cat.
He wasn’t particularly fat.
Fuzzy was his favorite mat.
And really, that was that.

Oh, but did you really think so?
Keep reading, it’s just the start of the show!
And as for how far this tale will go…
Well, even the cat doesn’t know.

Tony looks a bit scared on that tree. Almost as if someone put him there unwillingly to take a picture... *looks at June*


Just kidding!


I love the one where he is 'waiting'!


Arefio is so cute! I miss my cat, I want him. so-mail-him-k?


Anyway, great shots June! Now just take more photos of something else.


I like cats, but try out your skills in other shots. :wink:

But, Jon! Cats are my specialty!


I actually do have a lot of photos of other stuff; I just like cats the most. And cars. :P
*shifty eyes*

I did put Tony there; he couldn't even run yet, hehe.

:P
Oh yeah, Arefio is mine. xD Sorry, he can't be mailed, he's not merchandise ;)

Ahh! Cats! I'm not particularly fond of them. Except for Cat_910. Haha.

The pictures were a bit blurry for me. I'm not that great at reviewing photos. There's no grammar to correct, so Music feels out of place! Haha.

"Curious" and the last one were my favorites. Perhaps I'm a bit biased because of my dislike for the animals, though. :oops:

You did say you were getting a new camera, right? Once you do, I'd like to see your skills in other areas! I like dogs, if that helps. Hehe.

Love,

1 and 2 seem a little bit too close up.

3, 4 and 5 are beautiful though. I love Tony being aggressive on the tree! Brilliant.

6 is okay, but I love 7. Really nice shot.

8 is average, not too interesting.

I really love 9. The colours of the Arefio are fantastic. I wantz!

10 and 11 are adorable.

12 is cool, I like how Mayy looks very feral with the whiskers and whatnot.

I <3 cats. Thanks for sharing, June!

Hey June=]
I'll try not to repeat everything everybody else said, but they are pretty blurry.

1.) This one is good, I like the shadows on the ground, if it was a bit more focused it would be great. The fact that you snapped the photo while the cats tongue was out is awesome! So cute.

2.) This one's a great close-up. The back is really nice, the trees are nice and focuses. The cat itself though isn't. True focusing on both, or just the trees. The color and lighting is great though!

3.) Oh I love this one! It looks like an old fashioned picture, good angle.

4.) HA HA, that face is priceless! This one is a little too white washed, the lighting is a bit to bright and it makes it hard to see the kitty's face. The tree looks really good though, nice and focused.

5.) Aw, this one is double cute! Look at that face! Love it! The shadowing in the back is really great, I also like the angle, how you got the grass in there. Good job.

6.) Once again you can't really see the face, but I love the lighting on the ground, it looks so good, and same with the position of the cat.

7.) Awe, OK, you officially take the cutest pictures! I love where the cat is, it's great. I think maybe if you moved to the right a bit and got the planters more of an angle it would be even better!

*Hmph, the rest didn't load, so I shall come back and finish my review later.*

Good job so far!!

Back!

8.) This one looks photoshopped, it's cool. I don't think the cat looks unnatural, it's just looks like it's about to lay down, or stretching perhaps.

9.) This is a good close up, you can really see the cats eyes. I think if it was taken vertically so you ould see the flower pot it would look better, that's just me. Or like before, if you moved to the right and got an angled shot of all the flow pots that would be good too, just the position you took it leaves something to be desired.

10.) Ohh! Kitties! This picture wins a special place in my heart, so cute. I like how they are walking together, one ahead of the other. Like a race, it's cute, good job.

11.) This is a cute kitty, no doubt, but what's in the background?

12.) This one is a bit to bright again, but wow, look at those eyes. Love the background too!

So overall, great job! Nice angles for the most part, cute cats, just work on the lighting!

.........wow......thats a LOT of pictures....... This'll take a while.

(1) VERY CUTE! Its soo adorable how it stick its tounge out. How were you able to capture that? It's rather blurry though and the angle of the picture is kind of bothersome. The cat isn't really in the center and its the focal point.

(2) Again, very cute. This is a great pic. I love how you have the cat on the left and the window and the trees on the right. Again, rather blurry.

(3) For the third time, very cute. I like the cat's pose and how its looking directly at the camera. Again, rather blurry.

(4) Awww, poor thing! I hope it didn't fall or you helped it after you took the picture. I don't really have any comments otherwise.

(5) O.0.......VERY big ears........!

(6) That is absolutely adorable. It reminds me of my cat :D. Did you take this pic in the attic? Looks like it :). If it is, great background. If it isn't, still great background. The kitty looks shy.....^_^

(7) Interesting.......in a good way! It's so.....well......I don't know how to explain it. But I really like it! Maybe its how tiny it is compared to the pots....?

(8) Honestly, I don't really get much from this picture. I find it to be pretty....bland? What is the background, exactly?

(9) THIS IS MY FAVORITE! It's so cute how it just looks at you as your taking the picture. Goodness, woman, where did you find all these cats?!

(10) & (11) Only weeks old huh? Very adorable and great angles!

(12) They eyes are amazing! The rest of its body blends in with the rest though, but its still a good effect!

YES!!!!!!! WOOOOOHOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I GOT THROUGH IT!!!

Great photography!

Thank you Vampire and Telina!

Vamp>> No, number 6 was taken on a porch :P.

Number 8's background is trees and shrubs :P. Orange was laying on a bench when the picture was taken.

And, these are all my cats :P.

Thanks again! I really appreciate you review :).

Hello June! Nice pictures! :P

I loved them all, thumbs up! :D

1. KITTY! RAWR! Haha. I like his tongue sticking out.

Kawaii looks a lot like one of my old cats, Patches, whom we gave to my brother and he renamed it Oreo. And I love the name Kawaii, it rhymes with Hawaii, which is where my school's Band and Choir trip will be. And I will be there over our spring break.

The perspectives and angles were very well, there's not much else that could be changed. I know, I'm not much help and this is my worst review ever. :P

Aww, so cute! Gosh, how many cats do you have? xD

1) A bit blurred. It kind of hurts my eyes to look at it, 'cause of the bluriness.

2) Still a little blurry, but better. I think you should've taken a step back and gotten the whole cat into view instead of just the front.

3) Very, very cute. Tony has big ears! xD

4) Aw, poor Tony! He looks scared! Nice picture, but there's a bit of a glare where you can't distinguish Tony's white fur from the sky.

5) Wow, Tony's got really big eyes. I like the angle of this one, and his facial expression is just adorable.

6) I think you should have waited until Kawaii was looking up a bit, so we could see her (his? The name's kinda gender-neutral....) eyes. Nice angle, though, but why's it called snack time?

7) Cute! But a bit blurry. I feel like the pot's the focal point instead of the cat.

8 ) Awww. But I don't really like how there's this sort of whitish glow above the cat. It looks... I dunno, ghostly?

9) So cute! I like the contrast of the black and white in it. Looks a little crazed, though...

10) Just about the most adorable things ever!

11) I don't like the angle here. It looks like the cat's going to topple over.

12) This looks more like a painting than a picture. I love the eyes on this one. And cool background. What is it?


Hope I helped! :D

Hey June!

Kitty photos! *jealous* I so want a cat...humph

Here we go! :P

1 - Adorable cat and I love how pink the tongue is and the green of the eye. Unfortunately I think it is out of focus but I love the light behind it and the shadows.

2 - I do like this one. I like the framing and the angle and how big the cat's eyes look but it is focused on the trees through the window and not on the cat but perhaps that is how you wanted it lol could be a creative choice :P

3 - Hehe I love how it is looking at the camera but it is either out of focus or the effects you did to it have made it lose some quality or look a little odd. I do like these in black an white though, they stand out a lot.

4 - I love love love this one! I may even print it out and stick it on my wall by my computer, if I may? lol I like the light and the detail of the tree and cat. I also like the little light that is caught in the left hand eye of the cat, shame it isn't in the right one too but I don't think that matters much. Plus this cat is ADORABLE lol

5 - Yay! This one has light in both eyes. I think that animals photos only come alive and work well, if you have a little light that is caught in their eyes. Otherwise they don't jump out of the photo. I like how tight you get on the cats aswell. A lot of people are tempted to just take a photo of the cat but I can see that you are thinking about it more.

6 - Beautiful light and shadows, love that. I just wish the cat was looking up at the camera.

7 - This one is funny and quirky and I like that. I just think it is a little out of focus.

8 - Haha! laaazy cat, gosh I wish I could be like that more. Cool reflections and framing. You have not centred the cat and I like that. It is just laid at the bottom of the frame. He just looks so chilled haha

9 - This one is awesome! Just the cat looking directly at the camera and it's eyes are just amazing and so clear. Again I like the black and white, always make everything look so dramatic. Sort of scaring me though :P

10 - AWWWWW - that is all I have to say :D

11 - Again soooooooo cute! but looks a little out of focus.

12 - Love the tight frame of this photo and the detail and the eyes but I think there is too much light on it's face. It sort of looks like you used a flash and it makes it seem a bit harsh.

Awesome Kitty photos June! You definitely have an eye and I would be interested to see some more photos from you and see you branch out into things other than cats :P

When I first looked at these photos I think the thing I most said was 'Awww!" I think my boyfriend thought I was going slightly mad haha

Well Done!

Thanks Pen and Bex! I really appreciate it :D.

Pen>> I have lots of cats, haha. They don't all stay inside/around, but it totals around 70. Kawaii is a boy :D. And, in the last photo of Mayy, that's the trunk of a bush in the background :P. She was defending her kittens (hence the evil look in her eyes) when I took the photo.

Sure, Becki :). You're welcome to use it wherever you like :).

Wow. Are these all your cats? Or, are they others' cats too? Anyway, I think it's a job well done! You're quite the photographer, writer, critic, and every other thing there is to be on YWS!
P.S. My favorite picture is Snack Time because my cat does that all the time! ;)
