I took this original photo of my gorgeous cat, Honey. While she looks beautiful, the image has a lot of distracting background. You can see my messy living room on one side and the edge of Honey\u2019s cat tree on the other. Additionally, Honey is in almost the dead center of the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By cropping, I brought Honey\u2019s eyes up to the top third of the image to bring her to eye level. I also removed the unnecessary details. Finally, I also uncentered the subject, and brought Honey a little more to the right to make the image more visually interesting. This makes use of the negative space on the other side of her. It looks like she is intently looking out and this leaves her space to do so and raises the question of what she was looking at. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the cropping, I turned up the saturation and vibrance to make her beautiful orange pop. I also turned up the shadows a little bit to cast the background into darkness. This focuses the viewer on Honey, as she is the real star of the show.\u00a0
