 I took this with the Nikkor 18-55 VR and the SB400 flash bounced off the ceiling |

Animals are always cute to shoot! Two quick tips if you want to create a stronger image (you'll find more useful things like this in the basic composition class)--remove the stuff in the background like the jeans and green shirt in the second image, b/c it competes with the cat. Secondly, if you can get a shot of the animals looking at you instead of away from you, it'll be a more powerful shot, too. Josh |

Thanks for the advice! Composition is definitely something I struggle with. With the cat I just felt lucky to get a picture of her before she decided she would rather I didn't. |

Having taught composition for a number of years now, I know that it's easy for people to struggle with it! You really should check out our basic composition course if you haven't already. It's not a list of "rules" like most composition instruction out there, but rather a new way of looking at the world and your images. |
