Portrait of a golden cat

Hello all!

I just love cats! They're so adorable!! I took this picture of my cousin's cat a few days back. Flash was mounted on the camera but aimed at a brown wooden board on the left of the cat. I'm beginning to enjoy the 50mm 1.8D (I must admit though that it's the lens that I use the least) and it does create some interesting shallow DOF effects.

This image was not cropped; just sharpened and levels were adjusted a bit to brighten the overall image. I'm not really sure if the composition works. Alas, this is the only image that I was able to capture so what's broken can't be fixed!

As always, open to all kinds of comments.

Cheers,
Kamran

Gold and sharp! You should use that lens more often!

Love the sharp texture and detali, but I find the cat's eyes a little off putting, but maybe that just me.

Thanks for your comments! Craig, the cat was almost napping when I took this shot. Sorry about those eyes!

Cheers,
