tiger, tiger ...

No. I won't recite Blake. It just popped into my head.
Both the swan and tiger are from a walk around at the zoo. A month of black and white is challenging and I hoped the zoo would provide some inspiration. This beautiful tiger stayed close to the fencing, walking with me wherever I moved, which made it very difficult to get the fencing to fade out with my focus and DoF. This shot wasn't too bad, though he doesn't look very fierce with his tongue sticking out.

Contrasty scenes usually work well in B&W... and you can't get much more contrasty than a stripy Tiger!
