Thanks for all the great comments. To answer a couple of questions: To get the cat to look at me like that, she is actually lying on her back looking over at me. During editing I rotated the image 180. The light in her eyes is a hallogan lamp reflected in the corner of the room and off the ceiling; thats where the wierd looking reflections came from.

6 - Like this - just the reflections/'something' in the eyes, detracts too much in my opinion. Colors are very nice. Like the composition. Detail on the fur in focus is very good. Also good to see is that the eyes seem nice and clean. Up to 6 from 5.
Pure evil.. I love it !!
That's one of the best cat photo's I've ever seen.
Am scared to ask what you did to make it look back at you in such a way !!
