Wow, beautiful tiger, but not in natural environment. You wouldn't have survived this encounter in the wild.

Interesting, captivating, clear, unique! Losing me with the frame though... JAQ but are frames required in these challenges? Some of the pictures would look SOOOOO much better without one.

Don, the size of the woman's figure and its position in the frame are to insignificant for her to be a focal point; at least it isn't working for me. I am not opposed to the idea of photographing this from the back - I offered the other perspective only as a demonstration that a photograph can have an accent *and* convey indecisiveness at the same time.

I think the fact that the woman is not a row of books is enough in this busy photo to make her a focal point. If I didn't think she was a focal point, I would have cloned her out of the photo along with a couple other people who were there a couple rows back. I guess there is no right answer. I'm happy with my 4th place finish regardless.

Though this might be more the realm of conceptual art than what you call photography, agenkin.
