I don't know if it's would have been possible, but I would have liked to seen this framed in the portrait orientation. With the shot as taken, the image of those cute, but sad looking, fur balls and the inclusion of the Animal ID tag has me wishing I could read more of it know more about them.

In terms of composition and subject matter this is a worthy effort and is to be commended. But it's extremely muddy. There is no separation of midtones. Most of it is a bit soft, even the bird is not quite in focus. But you have a good eye. Work on your exposure and rendering. Paul On Jul

No Paul, there's not a lot of empty space on top. Their ID and information papers take up some of the top part of the frame, which is, imo as the photographer, is an important part of their story. Otherwise they're just a couple of cats in a cage. And no, you can't see their feet as there's a

If the photo was taken in portrait orientation most of the paperwork would be lost, as would some details of what's in the cage, but then you'd have more to complain about ;-)) Hmmm ... maybe that's a fair trade off LOL What more do you need to know? The basic info is there for you. Thanks
