Yikes! This image gives me the heeby-jeebies! ;^) Cool color shift and nice attention to details.

Almost looks like a painting. I'm guessing that may be an artifact of the hue shift. I'm guessing the cat's eyes were yellow and perhaps I would have left them like that. (My apologies if they weren't). 5

Love the texture of the fur around the eye. Not sure on the color of the eye. Almost gives it a push over the line of too much post processing.

Oh my goodness. So amazingly, amazingly wonderful. There are some things that I think voters as a whole will not like... maybe how the colors don't "pop" enough or maybe this part or that part needs to be in more focus or something else. But I think this is an outstanding shot. It meets the challenge in such a creative way. The colors, while understated, fit very well what the image is, I feel, trying to portray. The iris is dramatic but draws attention toward the reflection of the candle rather than keeping it all for itself.

So, to sum up... amazing.

(I personally would have cropped this really tight around the iris. But I think that's why I don't score very well, hehe ;-) This is totally not a criticism or complaint or anything... in fact I think you cropped it wonderfully. I hope all that makes sense.)

Wow the macro in the eye is amazing, but really the fire is not the main element here, maybe you should have used a big torch or something like that.
