Cute shot. Overall, the technicals are good as is the b/w conversion. The focus on the paw gives the impression of a missed focus, however... I suspect this was staged.

Nothing wrong with staging a shot, if that is what you did, but in order to be successful as a staged shot it needs to have a great concept or be believable as if it was a candid moment captured. Whether it is staged or not, it also needs to be compelling and that more than anything is what's missing.

Reminds me of the sun trying to pop through the clouds on a rain day. Very artistic use of blur on this one from bokeh to enhance the photo.

That's one of the things I love in macro: the abstract side of the shots. But I must agree with the comment of Ja-9, regarding the focus that might have been a bit lower.
