Thank you so much for the tips, @monochromes! 🙏 Very useful, and honestly a bit of a wake-up call for me: living on a farm, I'm surrounded by leaves, branches and grass, so a "too busy background" is exactly the trap I could fall into! 🌿😄 I'll pay more attention to contrast and exposure for my next #monomad entries.

A follow-up question about my last entry, the one with "our" black cat: did the photo work for you, in terms of contrast, exposure and background? 🐈‍⬛ I'd love your honest opinion on how I could improve it, since he/she is my favorite (and most photogenic) subject! 📷🤔
