you right,but y reduce the light to add more dramatic contrast,but in the capture light are hard in her back :)
this is the original,just convert from raw to jpg add signature and convert to srgb,its a little over exposed maybe 0,5.I calibrated my iMac whit spider 3 elite,maybe this help.

Better yet, how about getting your camera out again and encouraging the cat to face the light? No amount of post-processing is going to make this a well lit photo; you need to re-shoot it.
 
Was asked by a local director to do promo shots for her upcoming play. This actress was very fun to shoot...:

I'd have used some fill from the left to get rid of that annoying neck shadow and a gridded hair light and background light to bring her out of the background. She's almost got a Mona Lisa smile, it'd be worth a reshoot to me!
 
Very creative, looks a bit like a semi abstract painting. Great composition too, nice work!

Thank you very much for the kind words :) Dunno why, but these reflections always look better rotated. Must be human perception of not wanting anything turned upside down.
 
more from my day in Hackettstown, NJ with my Cokin filters. CnC is welcome

I'm back! This time it was a shoot with 6 friends all going off to college. I'll post a few pictures for the next few days. Enjoy!

Good point. I was aware of that annoying line created by the shadow, and attempted to rid as much of it in PP... Unfortunately, I was short pressed on where/when I could shoot, and under what lighting. =[

Here's another from the same set:
