Jacqueline (J_272004) was kind enough to download and rework this pic with me (ok, she did 95% of the work) so I thought I would repost it and see what people thought...the original can be found here.
Wow, very cool, it took me a few times of snapping back and forth between the two images to work out what was done. Very clever to get rid of the clues indicating the glass window so in the rework it totally looks like the boy is right next to the tiger. I love the way the composition implies the tiger as a metaphor for the boy's potential, really excellent capture and rework. Love it.
Peace,
Mikel.
PS Faved. One of the best, in the field, portraits I've seen here.
Love both the picture and the rework. The editing did a really nice job of bringing out the colors on the tiger.
I wasn't sure how this shot could have happened until I saw someone mention a pane of glass between them!
