Aesthetic:Overall I fee this is an average compostion. Not because there are too many kitty pictures on DPC, but somehow this one is too "flat"
Technical:Again - too flat a picture. It needed more contrast. Also DOF is shallow. There are parts which are not in focus.
Challenge:Well..anything would fit in for this challenge theme ..so no comments :)
Conclusion:I feel working with "levels" in photoshop would add some contrast and will imrove the "depth" of otherwise "flat" composition. Details on background can be little distracting sometimes.
But offcourse- the kitty is cute :)

What a cute kitten profile! You have captured that intense gaze I like so much. The contrast is pretty low - not a lot of range in your black to white, and the cut off ears are a bit distracting, wish we could see the wiskers extending down from the cheek too.
