Interesting frozen position of this cat. I like the B/W here. The cat is out of focus, though. The negative space at the right is a good counterpoint for the bizarre cat.
While the composition of the "cat" side of the photo is good, I get a little bored with the uniform upper-right side of the photo. Maybe a potted plant, or some other indiscrete object that doesn't pull too much attention, but that doesn't leave so much space open, either.
Very special. But I don't see where it meets the challenge. I find the cropped cat interesting. It looks like you did it on purpose. It gives e strange feel to this image. It's maybe a little too soft imho. Regards, Marco.
