Having problems coming up with a title for this one.

Also, should I use it, or keep going. Do you feel it is up to the standard?

Brick the cat vs. Lego Wedge Antilles

You can do better. Good job on balancing the light, but the horizon is off to the point that it makes it look strange. This is all just my opinion, so take it with a lump of salt.

I don't know, I think it's a very fun shot, and for being SOOC, you achieved great light and exposure. My only nit would be that I wish there was a little more room above his ear, but otherwise I like it!

I agree about the horizon, just wasn't sure if it was that noticable. Thanks!

I've ordered a negative space stretcher, should be here tomorrow.
I was obviously way too focused on the action and payed less attention to form. Next shot will be better.

All that being said, the light quality is terrific and the the subject is quite amusing.....

I really like the cat - great pose and exposure!
