Great composition and the black is great !! (V) also some of those white hairs give a great effect ...

Mikel, I appreciate your thoughtful insights and everyone else's comments as well. Thank you all, Saki

I think I've figured it out now... It's the contrast.... the side to side sharpness of white to black, without any details mucking up the works on either end of the image... just at the transition.

Stunning! Those whiskers are simply divine. :-)

Love this.

Wonderful. The cat has a pensive quality. Agree with others about whiskers and eyes. I'd add brow hairs to the list. Ann

I agree with Lydia. The eyes and the whiskers make this shot for me. Well done! ~ Dr. Fiddlesticks

The whisker lights just make this wonderful! Add the eye sharpness and it's even better. ~Lydia

Chat Noir indeed! In spades....the essence of the thing seen. Ali Babba

I am really liking this image... I'll try to come back later and see if I can come up with a coherent explanation as to why.
