"See the animal in his cage that you built,
Are you sure what side you're on?
Better not look him too closely in the eye,
Are you sure what side of the glass you are on?"
-NIN, Right Where It Belongs
I love this photograph. Pure and simple.

It's truly one of the most touching photos I've ever seen. I'm not that good in writing comments, but :deviantmachine-guts: said mostly everything that needs to be said about this wonderful picture. I'll just give another fav, although this picture deserves much, much more of them.

I had meant to fav this a long time ago, then it dissapeared. It makes me happy in a small dumb way that that I got a second chance. I know exactly I think how that tiger must feel sometimes.
This photo is fantastic, in that it speaks volumes, I am sooooo glad you captured it.

did you consider only making the area behing the glass black and white? it would make it look like the tiger was watching them, on a black and white TV

yeah, I tried a few different things with the color, but the pixels were really fighting me. this was the best result I could get

I didn't get to take a picture of the tigers here. My friends rushed me out... I got a poor elephant however :\ Stuck behind an electric fence...

A very interesting picture. One thing I noticed is that there is no reflection of the tiger on the glass. This might help distinguish the fact that the man and the tiger are very close and yet there is something separating them. Another thought would be to crop the picture more. Maybe about 100 pixels from both the left and right sides. I think this would help emphasize the relationship between the man and the tiger and give it more of a closed in feeling. Also, I think the rocks on the top and bottom frame the picture so well that the black border wouldn't even be necessary. Just mho.

I love this, tigers are absolutely beautiful anyway but you've made her look even better, that orange is so vibrant against they grey. But I disagree with what alot of people have said; I really don't get a feeling of captivity, to me it looks more like she is looking through the glass at the people, they're captive, not her, it's like she's just visiting their world

This makes me sad. If a piece of art actually changes my mood, I must fave it.

Nice shot, thought I think the saturation of the tiger could have been somewhat lower. It just seems too orange. Nice work.

This is an amazing shot to begin with, but the editing and the contrast makes it brilliant. It took thought -- and it evokes thought.

i have come back to this pic about 3 times now..and each time i had no idea what to say, that is, i had no words to decribe this beautiful image... i'll leave it to that, and this is going in my all time favs folder
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
really beautiful idea...
though... maybe only what's behind the glass should be b/w and all in the tigers world in color.... ??
really nice anyway

That's awesome! I didn't think it was real until I got the full view...the difference in saturation brings out the best in the image, mostly because of how heinously vivid the tiger is...is that the lightest hint of color I detect in the dude that has his hand against the glass though? Either way, very well done

Beautiful shot. The selective desaturation works very well. It gives the animal an undeniable presence; exactly what is conveyed by the expression on the people's faces. Nice composition with the stone wall encapsuling the shot as a natural framework.

As the last comment says, the idea to leave the man partially coloured is genius. It works so well at intensifying a connection between the two. A really beautiful shot.

Oh. My. I don't really know how to begin describing how touching this photograph is. I really wish it would get DTF because more people should see it. So many mixed emotions exude from this shot. I can't decide, but I think my most favorate part of the shot is the expression on the man's face. And I love how you left slight color on him. It brings the tiger and him together as if they are truely sharing a moment of oneness. I love the innocence of the smiling children watching, not understanding the pain of captivity. But the man understands, you can see it in his expression. Wow.

Astounding. The colours worked out perfectly. What a capture. Good job. I especially like the rapt look on the children's faces.

Striking image. The play between contact (paw on class) and seperation (glass, color) between the tiger and the crowd works very well. Normally I don't like selective saturation but it's well done here and used to quite a dramatic end effect. I like it.

wot exactly dont u like about selective saturation?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I find that, in most cases, selective saturation/desaturation looks fake--it's not natural, there's too much emphasis, and it feels as if the artist is trying too hard. That isn't the case here, somehow it does work, but generaly I just really dislike the technique.
