Who can resist a kitten picture? You nailed the cat's expression of disgust, as well as the depth-of-field perfectly. This shot would make a nice poster.

Hi,

I am one more cat mad lover:-)

I like the spontaneity of the moment, the original point of view and the use of black/white which puts more emphasis on the action. Great catch.

poor kitty. probably not that happy as the kid was ;)
good job.

Very cute indeed! A delightful portrait of the cat (and of your son, of course, although he's not quite so visible.) Good framing too, it really adds to the shot.

Composition, focus, and just the image itself... is perfect. It's sweet and attractive in it's cute humour, I adore the little paws and the one little brow that slumps down... too sweet.

Wonderful piece of work Karina!

Oh how cute I love it!!

First time I stopped in your gallery... what sensations!
It's really hard to choose among your shots, being able in portraits and macro as well...
I decided at last to pick up this one.
I normally dislike pets photos, they easily produce tons of honey, but this one IS NOT a pet's shot, there is a whole world behind, you explain childhood, hopes and fears.
TFS, really!
Best regards, ciao
Antonella

That's just a wonderful photo Karina, perfectly executed, bravo.

Steph.

This is simply STUNNING, Karina! What a lovely
shot!!! Great focus on this cute kitty! Nice
sharpness and DOF. Perfect!! One of my favorities :o)

Best wishes,
Bruno

Nikos

Wauw, what a cutie!
Great DOF! Well done and TFS
