Terrific focus on the eyes. Good detailing and DOF. Although the background blur is smooth and even, the pattern is a touch distracting to my eye. 7

The focus ont he cat is Sharp. Nice job and pretty cat. The out of focus region has good contrast colors but they don't really enhance this image IMO. The 3 orangish vertical objects (assuming a chair) and the black stripe running horizontally through the middle of the picture actually take away from the image.

Very nice kitty portrait, with bags of detail nice comp and a spot on focus and exposure (particularly nice exposure, no blown out hightlights). As for the background, for me it is a little distracting, even though it has been thrown well out of focus. Of course, the backgound is something to be given a lot of consideration as this is a Bokeh challenge.

I guess the bokeh is nice enough, but would have prefered a less busy BG, 6/10
