Yep - b&w works for me as there's plenty of contrast.

Works for me too, nice light on his main features, and then how it falls darker towards the back. Very handsome pussy cat

Great work, these guys are made for mono, so much texture and detail in the fur.

I would like to see a little more room around the face and mane and the lighting appears to be flash, dropping off from front to back (?) but its a good shot in mono and striking.

Thanks all, appreciated.
BC, the lighting was natural, sunlight (harsh at times) from the right. The black around his face IS his mane. Thanks for your tips, appreciated.
