This is my cat Belle. I love the color of her eyes, and thought of her as soon as I saw this challenge.
I adjusted the levels a bit, cropped, and resized for posting.

You would have done better to crop off the bottom portion with the green. Very nice focus.

The lighting seems a little harsh.

The eyes are lovely and the light on the cat is very nice to bring out all the detail on her fur and whiskers. For this particular challenge you might have been better off with a solid background, preferably in a golden yellow to match his/her eyes, or a much tighter crop to leave out the competing colors.

I don't think I can take any more cat pictures without going insane.

I really like everything about this shot, I hope it makes it to the top 10.

The red and blue hues seem more highly saturated on my display than the yellow of the eyes. Given the brief is "Yellow", it should be the other way round. A tighter crop on just the eyes would have achieved this and elminated the distracting background (complete with flash shadow)
