Black panther portrait rendered with high contrast monochromatic lighting

Black and white frontal portrait of feline carnivore against dark background. High-contrast studio lighting produces sharp definition of facial anatomy, whisker structure, and ocular detail. Subject displays characteristic pantherine features: forward-positioned ears, bilateral symmetry, pronounced nasal bridge. Photographic technique employs dramatic rim lighting to delineate contour and volumetric form. Tonal range spans pure black to highlight points at eye specular reflection. Composition positions subject centrally within frame boundaries.
