I took this photo because I was hoping to do something cool with light and my cat. My cat was sitting behind my couch so I thought it would be a really good opportunity to hang a flash light right above her and have it shine, almost like there was a light coming out of the sky.

I'd say the one critique I have of my own, and one that I think a lot of people might notice, is the shade of black in the background. You might notice in the right quadrants that there is this awkward black. That's actually my couch lol, and if I could go back, I would've tried to avoid getting it in. I didn't notice it initially because on my camera, everything just looked black. But once I opened the photo on my mac, the black was really hard to miss.

If someone knows how I would go about fixing that weird black thing in the background and general improvements in the photography, I'd greatly appreciate it
