This was shot a wildlife reserve.

I thought B/W suited the subject.

Comments and suggestions appreciated.

Cheers, Joe

Both are very nice. I think I prefer the toning (or lack of) in #1.

I like them. Prefer the first.
Not sure about the toning on the second, but I think the bigger issue on #2 is need for more contrast.

Awesome poised, dignified pose you got in #1.
Beautiful sharpness in the shot, too.

You are right about the b/w suiting the subject I think.

#1 for me

Thanks for sharing

Many thanks for the comments and I agree that #1 is the better shot.
This shot looked very cool printed to 13-19 on my Epson 2400.

Thanks again,
Joe
