Top 50, Go lensbaby!

Am pretty sure this will be the highest scoring LB Composer shot for some time Mr Pants :) Care to share the exif? Kudos for visiting the Zoo with the composer, my attempts failed miserably.

This gets my vote for best capture of the challenge. This image screams "Right place, right time"... and the processing of the shot just adds so wonderfully to it. Well Done!

nice shot

This is such a great action shiot - and I wouldn't think it would work in B/W, but it does. Great tonal range in the conversion; and the action is visceral. Well done.

Great action shot. Love the snarls and splashes.

This looks as if it could get real interesting. Very great capture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:05:30 PM
Nice action shot. My only nitpick is that waterdrops have some motion in them indicating too slow shutter speed and one tiger is much sharper than the other.7
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:59:35 AM
Wow, that's a good action shot, good timing. Seems oversharpened a bit.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:58:09 AM
WOW, here's a moment in time. So hard to catch movement like this. B&W treatment adds to the overall effect. Maybe a little less sharpening?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:02:24 AM
wow , wonderful action shot here, sharp , great capture , 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 04:12:47 AM
What awesome action! The shutter speed was just perfect for those individual drops of water to give the image a sense of motion. Well done, 9.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:24:49 AM
The action, the stop of the action, the composition, the processing, the interesting subject matter... all says Winner, 10. Nice Job, adding to my favs :)

I'm gonna guess this was out of focus and you tried to bring it back by resizing and sharpening the hell out of it. You were almost there but I think went a little too far with the sharpenin.

It's also a shame the tigers weren't closer together too. The b/w is an intersting choice and not one I would have made for this pic. Presumably you were going for dramatics but colour would have helped seperate the tigers from the background because as it is, there's a lot of neutral flat grey in the pic which mkaes it look a bit tired.

Nice symettry though.

Black and white works very well here, reducing this to the elements of motion and water.

They don't look too friendly, but perhaps they're just playing. Nice B&W and I like all the water drops.

This is one when opening the faces looked a little overdone, so I sat back to think of what to say, and there it was just took a bit of distance.
