Nice shot - shame about the pose

Cats are incredibly difficult to photograph well, I love the shot - if I was critical I would say he is a bit too centralised on this shot for my taste, is this cropped from the original picture? I would also try and burn in a little bit of detail back into the snow its a bit too blown out.

He's seen something and wonder what it is?

Very nice picture

It isn't cropped, I personally felt that it looked better centralised but tastes differ ^^

May i ask what you mean by burn in a little detail back into the snow? I'm unfamilliar with this.

Thank you very much for taking the time to give an indepth comment I'm honoured.

Do you use any image editing software? Burning is a method of adding depth to shadows/midtones or highlights. A basic description

If you dont own any software then Pixlr is a free online tool. Its a good picture in its own right though.

I use photoshop, but I usually try to avoid doing anything too drastic to my photographs. Not sure how much I want to do in terms of post-production on it. I'll have an experiment though and see what happens.
Thank you.
