[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of several kittens that were living in a barn that I visited in August. This one was passing through a hole in the wall to the outside... but was checking me out quite intently because it wasn't quite sure if it was safe to do so. Lucky for it, I don't bite! This photo is featured in the local Humane Society calendar.

The PP on this photo includes a "bloom" style blur to soften the look in a glamour style and several curves layers.

Bonjour Josh,
C'est très agréable ce léger flou et cette faible colorisation.
C'est aussi un très beau portrait qui sort de l'ombre.
Bonne journée

Hi Josh!

As many, many, MANY people know I am a HUGE cat and kitten fan, so immideately I ADORED this picture! :P I really like the "bloom" effect you added to this photo, because it adds some sort of curious atmosphere to the look of the kitten. Some people might comment on your rule of thirds, but I don't really care for the rule of thirds, and I think this photo is great. :D

Great job! TFS,

Hi Josh

A perfect shot especially liked the sharp looks and the pose at the mouth of the hole which has given this shot the right place and the right moment too.

The eyes, the eyes, the eyes. Emotion captured very well. Would you mind sharing the original, pre-PP with us. I'd like to learn more about what differences you were able to create. Thank you in advance.

Hi dear friend,
all my congrats for this compo! It's a pleasure to look at it and admire it from all points of view. Thanks for sharing it.
Best wishes,

I love the framng and sharpness with the white fur flared. It has a nice mood about it.

Kittens always make for a beautiful photo and this is very nice Josh. It has a softness that is very attractive and appropriate. An excellant pose and look (intense) captured and this hole in the wall has made for a nice setting. The colors on my monitor have a soft pastel look, very pleasing! Very nice work here Josh! I bet it looks super in the calendar!

Great shot Josh, well composed, soft light and great eye contact. Well done !

Mario

Hi Josh,
A cute image :) The model has a very penetrating gaze. Great PP work - adds a lot to the entire composition. Lovcely, muted colours in black & white tones draw attention to the blue eyes. Great details and cadrage. The entire photo is superb. Well seen & captured, congratulations!

Trop mignon !
Il a l'air inquiet et méfiant mais il est adorable.
Very good shot.
