I kinda guessed you put the blur there intentionally. But to me it just mess up the cute cat. But I understand why you did it.
I just wanted to say, if you could see my vision of this picture, it would be a completely different picture. And I would never dream of changing one of my works just because some d00d came along and told me I was crappy and what I was doing. (and btw, I already know that
)
You keep it up.
