    Army of Good Fortune

    After looking at this shot I wish I took a little more time arranging it. Maybe stack some layers to keep more cats in focus?

    Willie or Jiro is fine by me.

    I think the selective DOF adds more interest to the image, Michael. The composition is nice, too. I would probably add some dark vignetting so the attention can be directed more to the centrally focused objects. Another nice work would be to zoom in on only one of the kittens up close and blur the others out. Great shot, man!

    That is a great idea on the dark vignetting. I will definitely give it a shot. What I enjoyed about the photo was the Buddha in the bokeh. I think that is what pulled it all together when i viewed it later. Got lucky I guess! thanks for the compliment!

    I noticed that, too. Now, if you want to make it more dramatic, use the leading lines of the cabinet to directly aim at the Buddha statue on the background by changing your composition. Now, you're hitting two birds with one stone!

    That would be a good idea. Unfortunately this was on a vacation visiting father in law at epcot. But they live there so maybe next year (i will be sure to take a tripod, and some windex to clean the shelves lol ). Here is your suggestion.

    The bokeh did add some nice effect on the image for sure. Nice work!
