Wow!
I am instantly in love with this photo.
I love how you have managed to capture the details. The hairs and whiskers. I can also see the depth in this photograph, even though it is a 'black and white' photo. The camera has been focused on the center on the face, allowing the tiger's body to blend into the background. I think this allows the viewers to see the natural beauty of this animal. I also noticed, the one thing that stood out at first to me, the blue eyes. Not only do you have the focus at the center of the animal's face, you have kept the colour in the eyes. This i would say, is what draws the attention from viewers straight away.
This is a beautiful photo which shows talent behind the camera, thoughtful ideas to portray a story.

Your photographic skills clearly mirror your long-time mentor and guru GeneralCambronne's technique and approach. I think I sense the teaching of a genius in your art. You have made a fine pupil weed-hopper...
Seriously, very nice piece here.

It really is a shame that that long-time mentor of whom you speak seems to have given up the craft... perhaps he senses that a superior photographer has emerged?
Thanks!

Actually, he just never goes anywhere where he might possibly maybe be even slightly interested in taking a picture...

I absolutely love what you've done with this photo, Aelia. The B&W brings out such incredible detail of the fur. And I love how you made the eyes blue like that, it really draws you into this photo. I love it!
I think somebody is turning into a snow leopard fan.

Thank you so much Dave! I'm so glad you approve! You really are just about the biggest snow leopard fan I know!
What can I say, your passion for snow leopards seems to be rubbing off

You're very welcome. Approve? I approve of anything and everything that you do, Aelia. You could probably paint a super hero cape on the snow leopard and I would still love it!
Good... that has always been my super-sneaky-secret plan, to make you become passionate about snow leopards too.

I love this technique with the eyes! I like using it when their eyes are such an impactful colour, like this bright blue! So beautiful. I really love the contrast you achieved in the fur as well.

Well done piece. I love how I'm drawn to the eyes which is the reason I was drawn to this piece to start with. The fact that you can see detail from the whiskers to the animal coat is awesome. Keep up the work
