Beautiful shot...the highlights in the top of the frame are distracting, though. A tighter crop might help.

Wow, where did you take this shot?!?!

The tiger looks very tame here, almost friendly. Great capture.

EDIT:

Would agree with the tighter crop :thumbup:

Thanks,

This was taken at the Lowery Park Zoo in Tampa.

Better, worse?

How did you get THIS close to the tiger? What kind of lens to you have? It is incredibly close and sharp. Wonderful! Tigers are sooooo beautiful. May I give it to my daughter so she can copy it into a drawing or a painting?

 

[Chiller]

WOw...what an awesome shot. Very nice.

 

[doenoe]

that is one of the best tiger pics i have ever seen. It looks great. Good job on that one.
Im kinda curious as to what kind of lens you used there too.

Fantastic shot, it feels like I could just reach over and pet him.

Beautiful shot.
Incredible expression.
What a truly majestic animal.

Thanks folks,

This was taken with the 300/4 and is a crop, the cat was probably around fifty feet away... she was a big girl.

"May I give it to my daughter so she can copy it into a drawing or a painting?"
Certainly!

I agree, excellent shot. Caught the tiger in wondeful pose and framed him well. Top notch.
