The cat shape and these eyes build all the photo. The left side of the photo is adding nothing to the composition and maybe would be better if it wasn't there. A square crop with the cat on the right would work better. Or maybe keeping the original crop but having the perspective lines coming from (top left?) until the cat, giving a dynamic path for the viewer eyes around all the picture.
Keep this one around to put up for Halloween! I am finding it very tricky use defocusing to get a blurred picture and still have a worthwhile subject instead of just an out-of-focus snapshot. This is technically good, artistically wonderful, and a valuable contribution to the "sharpless" topic.
