    I like them both...wish we had a zoo closer. ne_nau.gif

    I really like the second one, he looks like he is trying to tell you something.

    Very nice. That second photo is intense. It's nice how you caught the tiger resting in one photo and agitated in the next.

    Thank You both!

    I love the fierce look in the second photo too... however, (and I almost hate to say this) that was actually a yawn!!

    I love the first one! It really looks like he is getting ready to pounce!!
    Seriously, like he feels your are invading his space. How close/far were you?

    These are super!!

    Not too far away really, for a tiger. There was a deep ravine between the visitors and the tiger, he was out on a ledge close to his side of the ravine. I shot the first one at 137mm and cropped it a bit. The second one I shot at 200mm and cropped it very little, but as you can see I cut his toes off when I got in that close. I did get a few shots at 200mm where I got the whole tiger in the frame, but they were blurry due to a group kids jostling the fence as I was trying to shoot. I have an Olympus, (4/3rds system) so those figures convert 2x to 35mm.


    Thank You for your comments Barefoot!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
