Personally, I thought this challenge would be purrfect for moggies, but the submissions seem sparse. The DoF on the eyes is so sharp (a good thing normally!) perhaps the technique did not apply consistently across the image. Still I like the "glowing" whiskers. Six from me.

I'll wager this beauty rules your household, yes?
