i think it needs more contrast and highlights...

Beautiful shot and composition. Wish it were a bit more brightly lit in order to really play up the contrasts, but beautiful nonetheless.

change from beauty cat to abstract cat so i can vote!!!

Yeah as shot, it had more contrast and brightness. I muted it in post thinking it had more of a lover by windowlight at night feel to it.

interesting that 'iseeu' critic is leaving negative comments on ALL the top people's photos... http//www.theshotspot.com/profile/view/10932 ... gee wonder who is so bitter?

Tonality of this pic is pretty good. Any more contrast would detract from the soft visual quality this pic renders.
