I like the way you composed this having not center but off to the left. B&W was also an excellent chose. Personally i would have pushed the contrast but I am a contrast junky as you probably can tell from my portfolio. Was this at a Zoo and if so which one?? Maybe sometime when I’m driving through greenbay we could get together for a cup of joe.
