This turned out quite nice, Danny. The extra negative space works really well with the kitty looking that direction. The grays and then the intensely colored eyes work well too.

A very attractive image. The cat's gaze, coupled with the darkness on the right, adds to the mystery of this scene. I find myself asking, what is this kitty looking at so intently?

Animal portraits can be brutally tricky to not seem cloying, but this is done quite well. The black background and negative space on the right really make it work. Well done!

I really have nothing to add because this is truly great as shot! But then, I'm a "cat" person. :biggrin: The black space is working well but for me the critical detail is that orange eye. The rest of the photo is pretty much monochrome, and that forces even more focus on the eye.
