Greetings from the Critique Club, Daniel!
I love how you've seen "calm" in a world of chaos. This is definitely a purrfect example (sorry! Ha!) of calmness and peacefulness.
I agree with your commenter who wants the cat to be sharper in focus. In animals and humans, we automatically go to the eyes first. And in this image... we're a bit disappointed when we don't find the focus right there on the eyes. But, when it's not, we're okay with it... and we keep searching the image for the "real subject" that the photographer wants us to see and enjoy.
In this image, there are three things competing for attention in the image and we never really "settle in" in the image:
The swirly metal which seems to be the most in-focus object
The red, eye-catching flower
The cat
Put your hand over the red flower on the screen and look again. That eliminated one object... but the eyes still go to the swirly metal instead of the cat... much larger object and more in focus.
If this image were mine, I'd have cropped off the flower on the left and taken some off of the top to bring the visual focus in on the cat even if he weren't in actual focus from the camera. That gives more intimacy, I think.
I love the colors... and how you've seen the scene that meets the challenge perfectly.

| I like this. I think if the cat's face where more in focus, it would score higher. Just a thought. |
