Effective fill flash Stephen Also the metering was difficult with the sky bg !!! btw without the fill you would have had (if properly exposed) a high key image !!! Did well here !!! Good pose and framing ... and the animal sure cooperated curling the tail !!!!
That was indeed a tricky exposure, Stephen, especially with the shadow falling across the cat's shoulder.
Two minor comments.
You might consider cloning out the green vegetation at lower right to keep a consistent sky background. There's no 'right or wrong' here, and it's something I wrestle with all the time.
Also, take a look at the hue.
There appears to my eye to be a slight bluish cast on the tree trunk, and the sky seems to lean a tad toward purple.
Yes there's a color cast, in the sky and the tree, I believe it is magenta.
I went to Color Balance and added 15 points of Green in the magenta/Green slider.
Super image here Stephen. Lovely composition. Agree on taking out the bit of vegetation at the bottom right, and cant decide which is better - original or the repost from Fabs.
