Well beyond the standard big cat pic we see so often...a true portrait. Good stuff.

Beautiful light and detail and nothing to detract from the subject. Nice sort of diagonal going from teh head to the tail. I will admit to a bias towards animal shots so I'm predisposed to like this ;-)

This isn't really saying fine art to me I have to say.

Comment by Louis:
Surely this is a zoo picture. And surely you had to adjust levels to get that featureless black. I don't think it's fine art, personally, though some may like this picture of an animal. It doesn't connect with me, unfortunately. It is simply evocative of the zoo, or predatory felines, and has nothing else to say to me. Does it mean anything to you? Technically, the tones are very rich, the contrast well done, the black and white superb. I don't buy that rich black.. that was not in the original, I think. I believe your focus is somewhere mid-animal, and should properly be on the eyes, but that may be an illusion of the light.

Beautiful lighting and composition. Really difficult to decide whether this is 'fine art' or just a (cracking) animal shot.

A very well done shot. Nice b/w tones. A vote on the + side of the scale for this.
