Brendon,

I love this, wink.
The hint of eye color puts it over the top.

Brendon, you have handled this image beautifully. I think the antique (did you use Nik Silver?) treatment really works with this leopard. Agree with Chas, eye colour really adds something extra to this.

Hi Brendan

Great image,regardless of what medium you chose to use ... the stare /eye contact goes right thru you... great angle...great IQ... I am not normally a fan of sepia toning.. but with the hint of colour in eyes it works really well in this ..

super image!!

[Morkel Erasmus]

I think this works well Brendon...for the reasons stated above. I've tried leaving the colour in a cat's eyes before when doing a conversion, hasn't had the impact I desired, but I was doing it straight B&W and no sepia toning...great thinking and feel here :c3:

[Dumay de Boulle]

This is awesome Brendon. As peter says, it doesn't matter what medium you choose. Its a powerful image

[Steve Kaluski]

Thumbs up from me too on this Brendan, colour & tones are just right and is in keeping with the overall look & feel.

Good choice. :cheers:

This image works for me as well. Very peaceful and serene image :S3:

[Brendon Cremer]

Thanks all for your great comments, ya Morkel first of all i converted to B&W and then added a little sepia to the image but the selectively added a little more sepia to the eyes. Wasnt sure how this would be recieved, so very grateful:w3

[Nancy Bell]

I'm a big fan of the graphic look and the spotted cats are a perfect subject. This is excellent. The hint of color in the eyes and the POV is arresting. Well done!

[Rachel Hollander]

Brendon - I like this a lot. The treatment works well and the pov with eye contact is great. I would be curious to see the image you started with.


TFS,
Rachel

[Brendon Cremer]

Thanks Rachel and Nancy. Rachel i will post the colour version tomorrow:S3:

[Jason Stander]

This is really beautiful Brendon... it would make a stunning print... great conversion and detail (crisp)... and the coloured eyes just adds just that little to make it a stunner... great work Brendon as always!!!!!:w3

[Cheryl Arena Molennor]

I like this one better than the color version because it is different. Love the effect

[Steve Canuel]

Rare choice for me but I prefer this to the color version you posted. The light vignette and the very subtle color in the eye makes this one work for me.

[Brendon Cremer]

Thanks again everyone:S3:

[John Ippolito]

I didn't think I would prefer the conversion over the color image, but your treatment here is very well done. Excellent image.
