I really like Emily's photo of her cat. I love how the back ground is all blurred out and the cats face is all up close and focused on its eyes. The picture had very good lighting, which you can see is reflected in the cats eyes, making them a cool green color. The focal point of this photo is definitely the eyes, and one of the first things that I noticed.The angle of the photo is interesting because you can see that the cat was looking at something, and not straight at the camera. The mood in the picture is pretty relaxing. There's the deep browns and the white on the cats fur, and the faded back ground of the water behind it. The portrait communicates that she's probably an animal person. The lighting makes a big difference. If it were dark out, the colors wouldn't have been as soft because of the natural sunlight in it.
