Works excellently as a high-contrast b/w. Three elements make this work particularly well: the animal and its spots, against the the more formal vertical lines of the rough fence in back, and the whisps of grass stalks at the bottom. Nicely done.
Looking at thumbnails I thought I liek dthe color version better. But upon opening them I think this is the stronger of the two. Both are very nice shots but this editing is excellent and really stands out strong. Very nice work.
