Siberian Tiger

For some reason I had this shot sitting on my PC but never uploaded it to Flickr.

I mainly shoot at zoos these days, but my goal is always to make my shots look as natural as possible.

I probably never uploaded them because my first edits of them from 2014 looked horrbile. Seeing how I improved my Lightroom skills was pretty cool after comparing these files

Great images Mattis, which zoo was this? I might be going to Augsburg zoo next week to check out the baby Rhino :anonymous:

I took these shots in Duisburg in June of 2014. This enclosure doesn't exist anymore though, they built a completely new one that will be opened on March 30th.

He is just as photogenic as ever

I missed that guy!
The enclosure just looks a little sterile. But that's probably because it's brand new. A little moss here and there and when the shrubs are fully grown it will look much better.

Oh and by the way, the scar on his face is from an operation he had a few years ago. He had a broken tooth and a fistula under his eye.
