/p/, please explain to me how much my photography sucks. Any tips would be nice, too.
Be honest.

Pic related, it's my cat cornered so I could take the pic.

Learn some composition and colour theory first.
>> Anonymous
first you get a D40

composition is horrible; head of the cat is cut off, that other shit blocking the view is distracting as hell, try to get your all of your subject in the photo, also resize

Composition.
Care to explain a bit?
I know I know, I'm a newfag. :(

I find it disturbing that bad snapshots like this are getting one reply a minute, while photos with at least some thoughtful composition are ignored as they're on their way to page 10. God damn /p/.

Are there any that you would personally recommend?

I find they're hard to capture, their eyes always reflect the flash >_<

Something I like to do is start out of focus to frame the shot and see any major lines for flow then focus in the shot and make sure those lines are where you want them to flow.

Also, before YOU take another picture, step back two feet and FRAME what you want to capture.
