This is my kitty cat. His name is Loki. I was thinking about this challenge when I spotted him lying on the floor looking at me. I lay on the floor in front of him and started shooting. Simple as that ... :)

I added a little contrast, usm, very small frame, hey presto!

Maybe a head on shot with the nose centered would hit the spot. I am a sucker for cats though. He's beautiful.

The focus is on the bridge of the nose. I realize you may have done that purposefully because that's the center of the photograph, but it bugs me not to have the focus on the eye.

Please understand that I'm not a cat person, and cat's aren't fond of me either. Plus there are an inordinate amount of felines in this challenge.
..That said, This is far and away the best cat shot I've seen and I am happy to rate this in my top picks for the challenge.
Beautiful expression and excellent detail. You did not appear to need the ubsharp mask to bring out the fine edges. Well done.

I would prefer it if the top eye was in focus, to me it looks slightly out.

he's luring you into a false sense of security before the attack..

very cute, though not too centered, as the left (upper) eye and the bright part of nose and cheek catch the most attention
