Taken at home, my cat was staring into space. I know people are tired of cat shots, but they are my favorite subject to shoot, and I am trying to get better at it!
This photo was taken at 50mm focal length, no artificial lighting (only sunlight through the windows). I duplicated the background layer, adjusted the saturation (all the way down) and erased the areas I wanted to show through (the nose & eyes).

I think elements in the background are a bit distracting. They are not blurred enough not to wonder about them. I think the cat is too close to the chair. It's a nice desaturation job.
I like where you placed the cat within the frame of the photo. The little splash of color is really nice. I'm thinking though, how it would look with JUST the eyes in color. They are piercing eyes really, and they are a slight greenish color on my comp, unless it's just my eyes playing tricks on me, since my computer is green. lol. Anyway, I'm staring at the eyes, and the nose is then a bit of a distraction. Focus and clarity are great, and the lighting and tonal range looks good to me as well. Very nicely done. ~Heather~
Pretty good shot. Not a lot left for the imagination, however, a diffferent photo might've been more effective for this challenge. Still, it has it's good points.
