Beautiful animal, great pose you caught him in. The decision to make it b&w really adds to the emotion of the shot.

The lighting, the pose...he really looks like he's longing. A wonderful capture. Even more hitting since its black&white.

I wouldn't have the nerve to get close enough to take a shot like this. ^^

Aww, this piece is absolutly beautiful...though very saddening, but you really capture sadness, and the black and white just adds a lot to it,

Fabulous shot, instant favorite. I love the emotion (or lack thereof) caught in this shot. The black and white definately bring out the sadness and institution of it.

Really, great work.

Awww.. Poor tiger... I have to agree about the b/w stuff, that the photography looks better and it gives a more emotional p.o.v.

isnt about the camera ... some of my older stuff was taken with a fujifilm finepix S5200 ... i how have a fujifilm finepix S9500 Zoom ... alot better and bout 3 times the price ... but its more about the photographer than the camera

well i use my camera on a 9 million pixel setting ... the end pictures are 3696 by 2464 pixels ... so a normal screen is 1024 by 768 ... so gives ya an idea of how big this images are ... but my work on here are never that size ... they are 768 by 530 normally

meliescribbles [2006-10-30 23:10:52 +0000 UTC]

very nice close up, the choice to balck and white and the light really gives the 'never free' feling of the whole picutre, he trully looks kinda depressed, very nice picture, clear clean with a simple but good overall composition. nice job
