taken at the melbourne zoo on thursday. C&C would be much appreciated! the good and the bad. thanks very much.

Nathan,
This is refreshingly different and your conversion/style has real appeal to me. I think this would look good as a split canvas - thanks for sharing.

This image will no doubt divide viewers in their opions

Awesome, very compelling and emotional capture, well done.

I find this image very sad........ but from a technical point of view, very good

thanks guys! i really felt that this was a change in style for me.

Simple poignant image. Great emotive quality to the image. Beautiful balance, perhaps a little more of it's left eye if I'm going to be picky but I won't
cheers

extremely well taken the b&w just tops it off great photo.

Disturbing

But an image very well captured.

That is a competition winner! Find a competition! Very thoughtful and well crafted image. Conceptual photography as it should be.

wow thanks guys. come to think of it i do know of a competition matt k, 1st prize is a tiny $10,000 too!

Awesome image Nathan and definitely different in style to what I've seen from you in the past. Well composed, well thought out and a great complementary b & W treatment make this a very powerful shot.

That's an amazingly powerful shot - well done!

I'd like to see the original though, as I have a feeling that I'd prefer that - or at least would like to get a feel for how much PP you have done

As others have suggested, this is comp. material, and at the very least deserves to be printed poster size and hung on someone's wall

thanks guys!

sheepie, there wasnt all that much pp involved. just a slight rotate and crop to get the bars straight and in the right position. then just a slight contrast, sharpness increase. i chose to convert to b&w because it was overcast light, great for b&w but terrible for colour, it was very bland.

thanks again for the kind words!

Love the way it looks so unnatural - a very striking picture. Delivered very well.
