Sumatran Tiger Portrait - a photo on Flickriver

I have been a fan of similar techniques used in portraiture and others and admired how they eliminate any background distractions, forcing the viewer to focus exclusively on what the artist wants to convey. It took me many hours of editing over several days to reach this version. Particularly hard were the whiskers where luminosity masks came in very handy.

Credit goes to www.instagram.com/shaazjung/ for his magical wildlife photos and portraits, and several YouTube channels on selecting and masking.

Please comment on if you would like to see the original RAW photo prior to this edit.

Taken at the Los Angeles Zoo of the Sumatran tiger with the Sony A7R III, 100-400 GM and a tripod.

Thank you very much for your views, kind comments and faves.
