 Bogey is growing up. Her eyes really got me on this shot. So much more intense in black and white. 70-200mm, desat., rotated slightly, cropped, levels, curves, highlights, sharpened and some slight cloning.

I totally agree about the impact of the eyes in B&W - that's what makes this shot. This was one of my top vote getters in the challenge, and for a free study no less!

Actually, she looks bored. I like your off-centre crop and the detail. Sharpening animal fur is tricky, innit?

Cats are always a favourite of mine, nice detail in the fur, the eyes seem "wrong" somehow

Very sharp, with great detail throughout. I especially like the detail in the eyes. Your processing and the B&W conversion work really well here.
