Would very much have liked to even out the nose with a little burning... but meh... I dont know how this will be received, but it definitely falls under the challenge :)

Nice job. There's another one with a cat's nose but it includes the green eyes. Here I am more focused on the texture of the nose rather than the fact that it's a cat. Well done.
A solid entry into the challenge, it meets the criteria in a different and unique way. From a technical standpoint, the image is a more than adequate. The artistic impact is interesting and is a plus. A solid and competant entry into the challenge.
I like the contrast in textures between the fur and the nose. The narrow DOF really accentuates the differences between the short, stubby feeling of the nose fur and the soft, longer fur on the rest of the face.
