    Cat on the road

    it's been a while since I took my camera on a walk with me, and this cat was following me for about 15 minutes :idea: Which one do you guys like better? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated

    Re: Cat on the road

    Hmmmm,where to start.......:idea:

    I like the composition of this shot, and it can be a real keeper, but something about the cat being so far away from the camera kind of gnaws at me. Personally, I'd maybe try cropping a couple of inches from the bottom. I'm going to run this thru PSE and see if I can come up with anything, but I will not post it.

    I like the b&w better , the colored version looks to saturated for my taste.And i think in the b&w version your eye goes to the cat easier. It reminds me of those cat's meow wooden things you can buy !

    I prefer the b/w. Its a mood picture and b/w lends itself to that better.
    I really like the shot and the way the road pulls my eye to the cat and from the cat.
    Keep Shooting!

    I really like the b&w. Would like to see what it would look like with a little taken off the top and the bottom. Leave it on the sides and go for a panoramic look maybe.

    I think the B&W works better. Personally I think the cat is a perfect distance away from camera. You might crop a slight amount from the bottom and maybe a little off of the left side. Good shot.

    I also prefer the b & w. The eye is drawn more to the cat in that version. A crop might bring the cat even more into the forefront of the pic. I like the mood of the photograph.

    Re: Cat on the road

    I'm going to disagree with most and say I prefer it uncropped, especially at the bottom.
    Keep Shooting!
