In the words of Leonardo da Vinci, " The smallest cat is a masterpiece." Gigi, your image of this little kitten is also a masterpiece. The clarity is exceptional, being able to, in time, count every hair on this precious bundle. The use of light, and composition is quite admirable. That is factual by the amount of views, recognitions, and achievements. Congratulations on your masterpiece. A job very well accomplished.

You captured a wonderful moment of innocence and peace. I have seen this photo on Facebook and it exemplifies a kitten who has a wonderful home and totally trusts the love of those around her. Lots of emotions in this photo! Great shot!

Great photo the detail in the fur really show through, difficult to find any fault, I wonder weather with the cats eyes open would have any more character/colour but certainly that's not a criticism

Lighting is great with only the small shadow on the left side of the nose, the nose is as sharp as you could wish for, I see f11 was used so you where very close as there is a sharpness drop of on the right paw and back of the head, for this image which is all about the face that is not a big draw back. I feel the crop is very tight and realize you have made it all about the face but I feel the paws are very intrigal part of the image and unless there are major distractions in BG I would like to see a little more, (I am talking photographic eutopia)
As presented it is a strong image with the right amount of cuteness to give us the aaaaah factor but to also show us a unique aspect and portrait of the Cat.
For me it is a very well taken and very well presented image, with very good technique, skill and eye. Dave

The innocent face of this photo is so cute. The expressions of the lips go with the expression of the eyes. The framing is really fabulous because you just use the body parts for the framing. The details are perfect, Who cannot love this photo? Congratulations on your awards!

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was made at the deck of our house in Minnesota, USA.Time
It was made at exactly 6:39:59 PM.Lighting
I used the 45 degree sun light (all was natural light).Equipment
I used Canon EOS 7D, and EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS II USM lens.Inspiration
The kitten was just 1 week old and I saw in her face the cuteness.She showed the beauty of a pet that you couldn't even imagine. She showed "INNOCENCE" and LOVE. Those characteristics inspired me to take photo of her. They must be documented through my lens and my camera.Editing
Straight Photo from the camera. Sometimes when you already enjoy the photo your camera have made it, so don't process it. It goes with the saying, "IF IT IS NOT BROKEN, DON'T FIX IT!"In my camera bag
Canon camera, EF Canon Lens 100mm f/2.8Feedback
Know first the characteristics of your pet. Plan your composition, look at the 4 edges of your lens through your view finder, adjust your composition if you notice it is not the photo you wanted, keep adjusting, compose and recompose, focus your subject, think of the possibilities on how to draw attention to your subject, emphasize your subject, and always have this in your mind the simplest the subject, the stunning it is.
