Looking for Inspiration #37

I haven't participated in a challenge in a while. I've been busy plus I just didn't feel inspired to be creative at anything. I hated every photo I took all summer, so I put the camera away for a while.

Anyway, I've been trying to get out of this slump I seem to be in so I thought I'd try to find something to fill the frame. I took a walk around the yard this weekend and found these. Am I on the right track with any of them? I'd need to re-shoot for sure. I was really on a hunt for something--ANYTHING--to catch my eye, so I was more interested in composition than in getting the perfect shot. Minimal editing (if any) on these, btw.

Are any of these theme worthy?

2. Abby by the window (I've since noticed other much better kitty faces, so this one probably won't fly)

3. Pumpkin

5. Rusty can (not sure it quite fills the frame though)

6. Another pumpkin

Are any of these worth pursuing? Thanks in advance for any help, advise, and/or c&c.

    I like #2 and #5. The eye is a little out of focus on #2 though. IMO just a little more DOF with the eye sharp would be nice.

    I'm liking #5 but maybe with a tighter crop

    Thanks to each of you for taking time to comment. I will work on re-shooting #2 though kind of hard to get a cat to do what you want! I'll also work on cropping #5 to see how it looks. I guess I still need to get out and shoot to find something more suitable.

    Thanks again.

    I kind of like #6. It pretty much fills the frame and has a pretty interesting composition.

    welcome back
    First of all, welcome back!

    I really like kitty, with a little more DOF and focus.
