Curious Ears Over White Barrier

Photorealistic close-up of a curious cat's ears peeking above a clean white barrier. The barrier spans the lower foreground, while a warm wooden background of vertical planks fills the scene behind. Focus on the ears: triangular, fluffy fur with a hint of pink on the inner ears and a few delicate whiskers just below. Soft, directional sunlight from the left highlights fur texture and casts gentle shadows. Use a shallow depth of field so the ears are razor-sharp and the wooden background is softly blurred. Color palette with warm browns, ivory-white barrier, and natural fur tones. Shot at the cat's eye level with a slight low angle to evoke curiosity and playfulness.
