I like this photo it has a wonderful texture to it, and it meets the challenge as well. I love the use of negative space and although I personally wouldn't have centered the face it is one of my favourites in this challenge.
Cute title. Am I seeing shadows on the fur (on purpose to look like claws? or am I just putting my visual spin on it. Interesting upsidedown subject, image flipped, you did that for the claws/hands shadows, right? The white fur looses definition in places due to glare/exposure issues, darker setting might have been better for both the fur and the shadows (well, maybe?) 7 Swash
The texture of the cloth adds a sense of texture to the image. Although I think it is a bit boring and disturbing how the bottom where the face is located. . .it seems out of place.
