lots of lines - they lead every which way and seem mor accidental than purposeful on the part of the photographer - however, it is a great cat picture. like the high contrast.
I must confess that I didn't like this at first viewing, but I quite like it now. The expression captured is great, the composition is good and the lines from the whiskers really lead in.
This is probably a very nice looking cat. Not sure about the blur (out of focus?) appearance and being in B/W. The question of fitting the challenge is questionable but does not matter to me. The wiskers appears to be the leading lines.
Nothing wrong with this photo that focus, color and real leading lines wouldn't fix. I am sure that sounds harsh, but for me it doesn't meet the spirit of the challenge. And no other attribute of the photo rescues it for me. Sorry.
It's a nice idea, but it doesn't feel right to me somehow. I'm not an expert so I'm just guessing, but there's something that doesn't feel natural. Perhaps the contrast was bumped up too high, or oversharpened?
Although the image is a little out of focus, I like the high contrast - although that may not be to most peoples tastes. But I don't feel that it really meets the challenge, its a bit of a stretch, you could say that the whiskers where the lead in lines, but they are not strong enough to really lead into the cats face.
