Shooting my favorite subject when I need a little pick me up, a new tiger cub that was born in early 2007 at our local zoo. I usually end up sitting there for long periods, waiting and observing this little guy and his mom, waiting for the right opportunities to photograph them.

Oooh I did not see this before. I love tigers. Always have. I still have my stuffed tiger that I got when I was 9 years old. So wild to see this beautiful animal sitting in a pile of leaves lol. I like the gorgeous yellowish colortones in this shot. Good finish for the Best Of.

I gave it a 9- a favorite in the "best bunch"! I just love the blending of the cub's colors with the BG-out-standing work :)

Lovely capture of this fine looking cat, and beautiful color. I like the OOF background, but I find all the lines there to be somewhat distracting - my eyes are drawn to that area of the image, and away from the main subject.

Nice capture but the processing takes away from the natural colours of this majestic cat. Good Luck. 5.

Very nice shot of this regal beast. I love the ruffled fur of his backside, and the bokeh is very complimentary, echoing the stripes of the tiger.

Very nice colours. The oranges and greens look great together, and the exposure is great from near-whites to rich blacks. Good control.

I like the tiger and the colors are very nice. I find myself distracted by the fence in the background though. pretty shot despite it though.

great cat. but the blurred lines are distracting. I am assuming that is the fence.
