Wow thanks for the comments and scores everyone. I was surprised this did so well. I didn't realize my moniter needed calibrating and brightness needed adjusting so I was horrified when I viewed it on our laptop. This could have looked a hell of a lot better. Luckily many viewed this with their moniter brightness down.lol
I was so sad about it - your scores and comments made me feel alot better. Thanks again

Very cute capture. Looks like a nice healthy cat L()L. needs a touch of something. Maybe a little levels. Not much just a touch to give it some extra pop.
I would have preferred it if you'd cleaned up that background completely. I wiped my monitor, but the smudge is still there... distracting to say the least. Maybe on your monitor did not see what I'm talking about (and I can see the difference between the two whites on the far left and two blacks on the far right so it is not my monitor). pity, such a great image.
cute cat. he looks so sad and bored. theres some weird blurriness around him though. not sure what it is but its very distracting. great composition though.
Composition: 6 - Nice to have him looking into the frame with good negative space on the right
Technical: 5 - Nice and sharp, well exposed, but there seems to be grey splotches and stuff in the background from editing, is your monitor calibrated?
Creativity: 4 - Not really anything unique about the shot.
Appeal: 3
I love the lighting of this photo. It's so hard to get cats to pose for you. (i've got cats that either run up to the lens, or run away!) . Great shot.
