A couple of tigers: white and yellow and black

One's white, the other is yellow and black.

Bookends!!! But for a less posed pose, consider an alternate view:

Actually, it is posed. I just had my assistant stroll over to them and they let him show them how to readjust their heads. Now he's evenly divided inside these two fellows. I had to wait until they stopped licking their chops before I took this picture. Ha, ha, just kidding.. Or am I?

The first is a beautiful shot, although I would crop a little from the left to center it up a bit. The second is not so good. It doesn't look as sharp in the faces, especially the white tiger's. Where did you take these?

At Miami Metro Zoo, with a 75-300mm IS lens. Kodak UC at 100 ISO. The prints came out acceptably sharp, but the scanned-in jpegs in the cd came upside down

and they're not too sharp. To save time and trouble I sent the roll to the Kodak service at BJs. I'm taking back the cd tomorrow. I should just have kept sending all my film negatives to mpix.com, at least for fairly special shoots like this one. Serves me right for being a rank amateur.

Fair enough. How about this one?

And a solo shot of the white tiger:

They were just beautiful. But you should have used a little more zoom. That would have brought the details.

No doubt, ravi; but then again I wanted to display a bit of the green background, which I like. I'll just send the negatives to mpix.com, like I should have done in the first place. Thanks for your comments, all.
