Oppose Why would we want to feature an everyday photo of a cat? Charles (talk) 16:44, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Cute but per Charles. Usual. -- Pofka (talk) 17:27, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Why? composition? --Laitche (talk) 21:11, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Moderate Support - I actually find the composition not bad. I find that it's helped by the cat's tail hanging down the way it does. And yes, the cat is cute. It would be good for the composition if the sleeping cat's eyes were in sunlight, but I think we can all understand why the cat didn't want to put itself in such a position that it would be zapped by light while trying to sleep. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:34, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Weak oppose Not badly done, and definitely a QI, but a) the leaves at lower right are distracting and b) not only is the cat not looking at the camera, its eyes aren't even open. Daniel Case (talk) 01:56, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I believe the cat is asleep. It's interesting that you find the leaves distracting, whereas I find them very helpful to the composition because they create a foreground and also provide a kind of partial framing that's a bit of a counterpart to the cat's shape (see the L shape of the leaves, the related obtuse angle of the cat's body and tail and the larger L shape of the part of the outer wall below the window and the part to the left of the window). I think we two have very different ways of looking at and conceptualizing form. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:16, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The field isn't too deep, so we don't IMO need the plant to give us perspective. And as for taking a picture of a sleeping cat, they look better when they're curled up. Daniel Case (talk) 19:41, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I withdraw my nomination Thank you for your reviews. --XRay ^talk 18:51, 24 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
