The original intention of this picture was to remove all the bars so there would be a clear view of the tiger. This would be done by examining the colors on the tiger near the bars, and then digitally painting this color over the bars. After working on this process for a while, I noticed that the picture looked very interesting with only the sections of the bars over the tiger's legs removed. It looked as if the tiger was walking through the bars. I decided that this image could deliver a message and be a completed piece of artwork even at this intermediate stage.
