The pattern work in black and white pulls me in. I shoot a lot of vintage objects where the detail matters more than color, and there's something about stripping away everything except contrast that makes you look harder. Cats have that built-in graphic quality already, the way their markings break up space. I'd love to see how you're using that repetition to build movement across a frame.
Welcome in, Dirk!
High-contrast black and white with repeating patterns is a deceptively hard balance to strike. The fact that you're anchoring it around cat forms gives it real personality instead of just optical noise.
