Smashing!
So close.
Every detail to be seen, every little hair, lips, freckles on his nose, teeth, blue (!) eyes... He looks like he could be a perfect PET, though I would not rely on looks here (!). Wonderful! Great DOF in a great portrait photo of the tiger. All that is necessary to see is in focus, including the ears with their little hairs! I am in awe!

Will you give him a print?

And by the way: what does "leucistic" mean?
I see a "white tiger" here ... do the two mean the same?

Thanks folks,

There's actually a very strange story behind the white tigers, check it out... http://users.aristotle.net/~swarmack/tiger.html

Classic photo! Makes me want to pet him or give him a kiss!!! I love all creatures. Black, white, red, yellow or purple.
