Congrast Phil!!
I love this in B/W! The back lion has a haunting look now that the color contrast is removed.
wonderful image to work with for this! The *crisp* detail on the fg lion is amazing, and the whites that were once blown out, now rest perfectly with the other tones in the image.
well done mate!
cheers,
-J

Hi Phil,
Well deserved award! I was perusing your gallery and you have a great gallery, the range of images you've captured is similar to my interests.
Your choice of black and white shot of this tiger works a lot for me than the colored version! Good Job!

whoa! you have really given a lot of thought to this,Phil..LOL..i never even thought about a line up and not sure it matters since moderators/staff all have their own ways of viewing and choosing images for various awards...but i do think the minimal dof suits image more so than friendship,but then that is just how i interpret those categories...do what you feel more comfortable with as the awards are purely subjective choices by people with varied taste ;>

Gayle, I made the decision and changed it to Minimum DOF.
I was never too happy with it being in the 'Friendship' project. So, your comments just reaffirmed it in my mind that it was not in the most suitable one!
Again, thanks for all your help!
Cheers

Oh, thanks, Gayle. Gosh, I appreciate your help!
The only thing is, wouldn't it be too late to enter it into another project? If I changed it, it would not come up at the top in that project - it would be way down the pages because of all the others entered in the days since this one was uploaded.
Do you think the judges would be aware if I went ahead and did this, or, should I upload it again into the the project you recommend?
Cheers
Phil

Just a thought,but perhaps this would fit better in the "minimal dof" project...read about that project and then read the one you chose...BIPs are given out when the image fits the description of the project...cheers,gayle

hi,just wanted to let you know that this image is excellent,Phil...the second lion in BG makes this one stand out from so many others similar...B/W was the perfect choice and the clarity of details is spot on...dof and tonal values are all good!
congrats for a stellar shot!

Fantastic, Phil. I think I like this one better than the colour version. Excellent tones, and that lion in the background really blows me away. He adds so much to the picture. I can't think of the right word, at the moment. (I think I'm having a Senior moment. Oh, dear.) Wonderful stuff, anyway, Phil. Cheers, Ann.
