Will be interested to see how this scores and reckon it will fly or bomb due to the fact the fence is implied rather than in your face.
Was back at Banham Zoo - they were celebrating their 40th Birthday and bumped into a Zoo Director, the Sri Lankan Leopard was nowhere to be seen and he was crouched behind a bush making weird noises. Then she appeared stalking toward his calls. He has known her since she was a baby and called her a softy (yeah - right). I need to spend a day with him as I'm sure he could get me some fine shots :)

Oh, what a shame that this 'bombed' rather than 'flew'. It is a beautiful image and I don't understand that voters didn't get the relevance. (Before I joined, so I'm off the hook.).
Wicked shot Andi! Defintly didn't deserve the score it got though a lot of people have never shot through a fence before so they don't recongnize the pattern. This works great in b&w and I love the two meaning title, works perfect. I didn't vote in this challenge but I would have probably gave it a 7, higher had it been a freestudy shot. What a beautiful cat in motion, well done!
Beautiful capture. Sad thing is, I thought I had an original idea with my fence, but found there were others right there with me. Push the envelope and sometimes it rips.
i feel like a jerk. I went back and saw the fence this time around after giving you a low score. You were probably like wtf is wrong with this guy.
Anyways - I like the photo - and the loose interpretation on the theme, but I think the fence is too abstract still. If it werent for a fence competition, I'd have rated it probably as an 8.
Oh my, this is definitely not a sub-5 shot. I gave it a 6 (which probably doesn't sound all that impressive lol) only because I wanted the fence appearance to be a little stronger. The spots on the leopard dominate the whole photo. However, those spots and the leopard are beautifully processed and this is a gorgeous black and white piece.
The fence is such a minor element here, but it's otherwise a "WOW" shot for me. Such great detail on this guy. I'd love to see a larger version, if you have one posted elsewhere.
