Too bad, the chain-link fence just kills this image, and the main cat subject is underexposed. Did you try going as close to the fence as possible with your lens wide open? With a moderately fast lens, the fence will "magically" disappear (except in the highlights, although you will suffer some loss of contrast and clarity).

Would have been even better if you could have gotten some nasty garbage in the shot, but I like the idea for this challenge.
