I like the philosophical tiger shot, but the final caribou shot is my favorite. I love the composition and the implied presence of vast amounts of space. It's an eloquent representation of the great migrations that make up the life cycle of the caribou. A sort of visual metaphor of the saying about a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Or maybe I'm just reading too much into it. Works for me tho'.
Structurally, I really like how the legs and antlers neatly radiate from the central mass. The curved and angular negative space that is defined is visually pleasing. The caribou's limbs act as borders of internal negative space in contrast to the edges of the image which act as borders of external negative space. This tension and balance of structure really makes for a strong unified image.
Thanks. :) You might be reading a little more into it than I meant, but the framing and empty space in the upper left was intentional. The pic isn't cropped at all from how it was originally shot.
