Daniel,

The main is a very nice low contrast simple portrait, despite
a few minor things (thumb that sticks up ("stick out like 
a sore thumb", a bit of the white background on the left,
and the hightlight on the front hand), which could easily
be dealt with in Photoshop if you so incline.  I would 
have liked to see a bit more of the cat's face, and would
have tried to dodge it just a bit.

I like the composition very much with the light on the face,
with most everything else in muted colors (that's why I would
want to burn the front hand).  I also like very much the back 
of the cat following the form of the (unseen) arm, and that 
of the front arm, and the curves of the elbows below.

That's my opinion, and thanks for posting.
