A very nice portrait, and I like the black and white treatment, Michael. It would be helpful if you’d mention why you put this in the Human and Fauna category. I’m guessing it’s a captive animal, but it’s customary to make an explicit statement to that effect.

The eye contact is awesome in this image.

As Dennis said, a beautiful animal portrait!! I really like the B&W treatment. A most enjoyable image.
