Love to see the color. This is pretty drab.

I think this is an excellent black and white photograph, and very dramatic with the contrast between the parallel lines of the window pane and the curved lines of the cat. My eye prefers cropping off a little of the base--it's such a wide black line that my eye is drawn to that instead of the cat. Well done.

I appreciate the comments on this; thank you. The proper way to have taken this image would be with a tilt-shift lens, which I can't afford and didn't exist when I created the image.
I want to fix the perspective issues without losing the feeling (I remember that crack in the middle window. It wasn't worth fixing in general, and adds a sense of balance to the composition, I think).
I agree with Richard's comment about doing some cropping at the base - and when I revisit the image while going through my archive, I'll look at implementing it.
Thanks

Unusual comp Mark, the dark silhouette of the cat as it looks to the light's interesting to me.
I also like the vertical lines that frame it.
Well done
