My first film photograph since high school (~15 years ago).

The framing works well here, but it would have been nice to see more of the cat's eyes. Also, in general I would say that there is a bit too much contrast.

Yeah, I tried to get the cat's eyes. I thought I might have when I snapped the photo, but obviously he was too quick for me. Alas.

nice shot but i agree with adam.... a tad too contrasty for my personal taste. What film did you use ?

That was shot with Ilford HP5... It was shot midday, if memory serves.
