 Roar! :)
tiger at the zoo... selective desaturation.

*post challenge*
Selecitve desatutation, or no selective desaturation? Four people said no, four people said yes... Personaly I like the drama it gives to the photo. Without it, I have just another "magestic tiger" shot.

Beautiful shot. I think the selective desat works very well. I also like the way he seems to emerge from the darkness.

I'm not a big fan of the de-sat here. I'm sorry. I'd like to see this all in color or maybe just a lesser de-sat.

Not a bad use of selective desat, but the subject remains just too far away.

This is a beautiful shot. Not usually a fan of selective color but works wonderfully in this picture. The front fore leg is strange, no stipes or markings on it makes kind of draws my attention.

An intersting set of processing choices, it;s good for an illustration in a fantasy novel but I would prefer it if you had left a hint of colour in it
