Wow, I forgot that this even existed. Shortly after getting the new camera, I was taking photos of everything. This is little India. (So named for no particular reason.) I am glad that I was looking over the files I was deleting for space reason as I think that this is a pretty good shot. Because it was shot at a high ASA, I ran it through NeetImage. It cleaned up very well, but NeetImage does tend to flatten textures a bit - still, I like it.

India was so cute back then, but as everyone knows, the only problem with kittens is that they grow up to be CATS. She is now 18 pounds of pure psychosis. She will climb up on you, nuzzling your ear and purring, then *out of freakin’ nowhere* she will screech, scratch, try to run, get her razor-like claws caught in your hair, screech and scratch some more and then nock over 18 things running out of the room. Stop, turn around, hiss, tail straight up in the air, then walk off. Is it possible for cats to be bi-polar?

In any event, here she is when she was cute -

The question at hand is this, Is there too much foreground? Would you crop that out, and if so, would you then lose the wall or the pot? (Trying to keep the 3x2 format.) I think the pot is interesting, so I would not want to lose it, but if I eliminate the wall, does that push her over too far to the left of the frame. Also, what about the curtain? I don’t like it, but if I clone that out, then the shadows don’t make sense. What would you to?

Great photo, but if you're looking to crop I'd go no further than the skirting board. I think the pic is better with the curtain and the pot, but I'd remove just a little of the foreground. Hope that helps!

Cute photo! She's got that "oh-oh, busted" look to her. If it was me, I'd probably take a little off of the top and a bit off of the bottom - square it up a bit. After all, the main focus of the pic is the kitten and the pot. Square pic in a square frame - I'd hang that one on MY wall!
