Ace
(1-2) Tarty
(1-2-3) I was wondering if someone could critique my catz poses? Lids and feet seem to be giving me the most problems. I have a ton of pics but I think I'll just upload these for now. For Ace's pics, I can't seem to get any pics with space inbetween her back legs. His front may be too close to the camera but I don't know. I *think* the lids might be okay and the tail might be curved enough but I'm really not sure xD For Tarty's pics, I think her tail and eyelids are okay? I seem to have trouble lining up her front feet but I want to say I got the outlines of the legs lined up... But if anyone could give me advice on these and how to make them better that'd be great! Also if hexed petz like these aren't okay in shows that'd be good to know too haha xD Thank you! Edit: Two more catz to critique Dreamer:
Barnie:
I think the tail is definitely off here :/

I'm not much of a kitty showperson but I can attempt to help haha. For Ace, you've got a significant amount of her front left leg showing behind her right leg, she definitely needs to be turned more, and that should give you the space in the back legs you're looking for. The bright green on the pic below is actually the far leg showing, so she can be turned 3 pixels more, if that makes sense. Tarty is looking good to me! If I were you, I'd show her with the 1st one since the lids are slightly better imo. For Dreamer, I think that you'd be better off with a pose that doesn't have SUCH a difference in the two eyelids, and I think there might be a bit too much of the of the front left leg showing behind the right front. Like she needs turned the tiniest bit. Barnie's tail is definitely off and I feel like he could be turned a little more too, the same as Dreamer, too much far leg showing behind the right front. They're both only off by like a pixel though, so they might still be okay? Let's hope a more experienced person comes along haha. Hexed pets are fine in shows unless the show specifically says they're not.

^^Thank you for all the tips!
Since Ace has black fur I didn't even notice the left leg haha, but your advice made sense. I think it's fixed in this photo? Or well, at least it's not showing as much. The eyelids are uneven this time but just slightly.
And for now I will stick with the first pic of Tarty then! I'm trying to repose Dreamer and Barnie but they aren't cooperating right now, so I don't have new pics to share. But thank you for the tips! They were very helpful

Calico's are a pain to pose, they are so willing but it's so difficult to get the right angle and then when you do the eyelids never match 0_o Ace's last pic looks much better, 'cos of the colours it's hard to tell if the front legs are a weeny bit off but apart from the slightly uneven eyelids it's practically perfect. Like Jewellz said, Bernie and Dreamer are slightly off. With Calico's you shouldn't be able to see the far leg at all except for a little bit in the bottom left corner. Tarty is pretty good too, definitely an acceptable entry and the 1st pics eyes are a little off but again passable I *think* most judges judge first on the front leg placement, as with some petz/hexes even if the front legs are perfectly aligned you will still not get a gap. So don't worry with some petz if you can't get that back gap EDIT: Also your petz are beautiful <3

I think Ace's leg is still a bit off, but it's getting very close. For the eyelids, I don't penalize calicos for having wonky eyelids cause it's a part of their personality, but it all depends on the judge.

^^Thank you both for the tips! I'll work on Barnie and Ace's poses (Barnie will not curve his tail towards his head at all >.>) but I did get a pic of Dreamer that will finally work. The eyelids and legs look even so I think it's passable haha. I did already enter it. But I'll remember these tips for when I get my next poses. I'll probably just go straight to posting in shows instead of in here. And thank you for the compliment Ilyana <3

^ The front legs are still just a touch off, although your cat did make me smile with those colors when I saw it entered in a show.
You're getting very very close, though.
