Nice detail in the fur and a good capture. I like the overall idea of the cat looming over you. I also really like the contrast with the deep blue background.Here's what I would change to make it an awesome photograph:
Try to take a shot where you don't clip off just the tip of his ear. Either go vertical and get the whole ear, or zoom in a little farther and focus on the face, losing most of the ear. It's a little distracting having part of his ear missing and it leads your eye out of the photo.
The backlighting helps make the fur stand out, but try using a fill flash or a slightly more frontal light source to get a little life into his eyes. Your eye should be drawn to his to really make this photo stand out.
Good job shooting from an unusual perspective!

Your sharp detail and unusual POV caught my attention before I saw a cut off ear. This does not bother me because it provides a sense of balance because of the tight frame on his body. I think you did a great job on this, Andrew!! #3587206Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
