Was trying to emphasize the patterns of the eyes; however, decided to include the pattern of the coat as well. Expect I will get some dnm challenge comments.... bring 'em on. Cropped original and adjusted in curves.

Nice and clear. However, the red LED light below and to the left of the cat's chin (the cat's left) is distracting. I know it is not an LED light, but it probably is a collar or tag.
its a cate. fairly decent image of one, but the arm is a major distraction for me, and makes the cat feel confided. Also the two catch lights are distracting.
A little longer DOF to get the whole face in focus. Eyes are good, but the nose and top of head are too soft. The whiskers and dots where they grow are a nice pattern that is not caught clearly. The eyes are beautiful though.
