This is my second go-around =) - So cute! I would almost name it "innocent," because that's what I see in her eyes. =) I would only recomment not clipping her ear and I wish there was a little more contrast... has an overall "grey" feel to it.
Great eyes. The tone is a little odd IMO. The dead centered composition could have been improved by cropping the empty space on the right, and including the tip of the ear. Still very nice. I love that you can see the detail of the whiskers against the darker background of the body.
