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!!
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![]()
This is awesome Brendon. As peter says, it doesn't matter what medium you choose. Its a powerful image
Thumbs up from me too on this Brendan, colour & tones are just right and is in keeping with the overall look & feel.
Good choice.

This image works for me as well. Very peaceful and serene image![]()

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![]()
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!
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

Thanks Rachel and Nancy. Rachel i will post the colour version tomorrow![]()
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!!!!!![]()
I like this one better than the color version because it is different. Love the effect
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.

Thanks again everyone![]()
I didn't think I would prefer the conversion over the color image, but your treatment here is very well done. Excellent image.
Beautiful image,great detail,like how you have worked this from a colored one to this,great work.very well done.
