I always like tiger shots, they're great animals. I would have liked to see this shot cropped closer in on the head, cutting out that green pole in front of it, because I think that's distracting. 6

Colors and contrast are STRIKING! I absolutely love wildlife pictures, and this one is a winner. I'm giving it a 10. It has that framed print look about it.

nice shot - very clear focus and great exposure in the animal's "element"

Awesome exposure and subject... the big cat's pose and intent expression are simply majestic. The bamboo background works well as it goes from focused and sharp to faded, dark, and shadowy, with good shadow detail. The colors throw me off a bit, though... it seems like you might have worked with the saturation a lot. As a result, the pole in the foreground looks splotchy, and there are cyan color artifacts on the tiger's light fur.

Who am I to tell a "master" anything, but the colors here seem pretty dull. I took it into the AOL edit photo and hit auto enhance and it made a WORLD of difference. Made the whites whiter and the orange stand out so much more. I guess it just seems dark as is. Focus seems ok and the environment looks good with the tiger. Nothing distracting. ~Heather~

Seems a bit dark, and there's abit of motion blur near the tiger's backside. I'm sure with the darkness it would have been tough to work with a higher shutter speed. Not sure what length lens you used, but there are relatively inexpensive attachments for speedlights that throw their beams a good distance. If used off-camera form a remote, it would have been just what this shot needed. I *do* like your use of space, and you obvioulsy had a solid focus on the eyes, so overall this is a great shot.

This looks like Richard Parker. Have you read The Life of Pi?

Beautifully done. A zoo, I assume, but looks very natural as if it could be in the wild.
