fHi, Don,
The exceptional symmetry of Lou suggests to me that a crop from the left to perfectly (purrfectly?)center Lou would be in order.
It is technically unable to be improved and the cat’s gaze provides gobs of impact!

Nicely done,

Dave

The face is beautiful and sharp in the double download, I would crop to get the face and beautiful green eyes and then it would be a wall hanger...

I would recommend a crop to narrow the frame a little. The current framing emphasises Lou's width. I'm sure he wouldn't mind a more flattering portrayal .

Took the advice of all that posted a reply R. G. Agree a slight crop on the left side looks better. See revised image just posted. Crop and fitted to 8 X 10 ratio.

Crop to a square format and put his nose dead center.

I like the second one with Lou's body included. Everything is sharp that needs to be sharp .. the eyes .. the whiskers .. the nose .. nicely done. I would include the body though because Lou looks a bit plump and I bet that is part of Lou's personality. Big Lou. Love your kitty .. he's adorable!
