    Harshad,
    This works very well as a B&W. The path leads the eye nicely out of the frame while the look back from the tiger causes you to pause for a look before you leave. Due to my lack of formal art training, I can only best describe this to you as this image has a nice "flow" to it. Well done.

    haha thanks Harshadbhai - I'm glad you can draw inspiration from my meagre attempts at trying different things on shots. :)

    this is stunning! tack sharp and the B&W really has accentuated the tiger's stripes and form. love the look-back. if it were mine I would have loved a bit less space on the right and a tad more on the left.

    then it's fine as is, since the tiger's head falls on the vertical third anyway - I still love it :)

    Comp is just fine as it is Harshad, with a great look back in magic light and pin sharp across the body! VWD.

    Harshad, you are trying to call my bluff I think? :-)

    I would agree with Morkel on the space, however sometimes you have to take what you can get. For me, the B/W perhaps does not do the image justice and perhaps a tad of colour in the b/w might work?

    Well done, and I agree with Steve K- when I first saw the image I thought colour for the tiger and B&W BG should look great too.

    I really like what you have done here, in my opinion I would tinker with this image much further. I might venture a go at opening some Subtle Highlights in the left eye and very gently in the right. I believe this would increase the viewers connection with the subject.

    I think this is interesting, but I would like to see a colour version to compare.

    This is really a stunning image with a wonderful composition and pose. The Black and white makes it very dramatic. Love this one Harshad.

    Harshad, this image works a lot being B/W. The expression captures the viewer and the image is very sharp. Congrats!!
