I love this! I love cat and animal shots so this is great. Love the shading on it.

James,
One thing nice about PS is you can always undo what you did, have fun with it and just play around, thats how I learned.

Chris,
Thanks. I'm still getting this photoshop figured out. I'm also trying to develop an eye for lighting and shadows. I know that sounds odd but shadows tend to either be or not be in my mind. I'm trying to "see" a picture not so much with a "shadow versus no shadow" mind but more of a "more shadow or less shadow" approach. I'm also trying to do it with colors and frankly, I find that easier.
Thanks for your help. I do prefer your version.
James

James,
The composition of the image is good but I do find fault with a couple of issues. First is the overall image is too dark, second I think there is too much contrast. Open up the image in Ps and remove some of the contrast then try and lighten it up a bit. Also try to level out the difference between the light and dark areas, you can keep the dark area but there should be a smoother transition.
I am attaching the fix I did, it could be betterif worked on the larger image.

Ah James. That look.. "why are you bothering me, just feed me" :-))
Excellent expression in this image. And good exposition in difficult light conditions. It maybe could have been a bit sharper.
Congratulations.

I'm a sucker for cats. :) I just want to reach out and scratch kitty behind the ears.
I might have composed this a bit more off-center, but that's just my taste, I don't particularly care for centered subjects.
