The animal world can look incredible in black and white, and this is a superb example both of the magic of monochrome and the power of compressed perspective, which is used to excellent effect here.

This image demonstrates what's possible when patience is applied. Three months and three different cameras seems absolutely worthwhile in order to produce a photo of this quality. The gaze of the animal and the atmospheric colour palette make for something truly special.
