A Tiger in the San Francisco Zoo. It was getting up from a nap to get a drink from the watering hole and then looked up at me...thus it's wet chin. I've always loved tiger shots and was hoping to get a good one at the zoo. I realize that the composition might be weird to some, but I like it. The background wasn't really that dark in reality, it was a stone wall. But when I put it into b/w mode, brought down the brightness, adusted the hues and added the soft glow filter, it almost completely dissapeared. The only real dodging/burning I did was on it's eyes and once along it's back. I hope it does well...especially after my recent entries -__-

This tiger was named Tatiana, she somehow escaped from her San Francisco zoo cage and killed 1 man and mauled 2 others today. This is the same tiger that attacked a trainer 1 year ago. They shot her after she started to attack the police officers. Very sad. I still say that she was a pretty one and it's a shame that she became violent :(
