Remarkably, the softness of your image evokes a warm, comfortable feel, as opposed to being very sharp, which would better convey the danger inherent in the wild beast.
Seems a touch over-cropped, which has given you a little bit of mushy detail, especially on the fur...although I realize getting any closer to this lovely kitty was probably not an option. :-)
This looks really really good as a thumb! However, up close there appear to be some quality issues, especially around the eyes. Perhaps over sharpened? Unfortunately, that makes a big difference for me, scoring wise.
I do love the colors and the expression.
I'm not sure if you intentionally added soft focus, but it's a little distracting, and it could've been sharpened more. But apart from that, it's a very handsome cat.
