| Seriously...round trip for a picture! ;) I think this blows DrAchoo's 4 a.m. trips to the coast for a photo. You did end up with some great photos and it's nice to visit SF. |

| Definitely worth the drive, in my opinion. Not just for the shot which is good in its own right, but to get to see this guy in person - way cool! And your giraffe shot is priceless. I'd say it was a good trip! (Ain't it cool how DPC makes us do things we might not get around to otherwise?) |

| Great attempt...but the detail of the original is excellent. But as an imitation...terrific. |

| Wow, really nice capture of this tiger! A Very nice emulation of the original. The left paw is extended up and with the ferocious look on the tiger's face it looks very much like it is coming to attack us. Look at that dangerous look on his face! While this IS a wonderful capture there are a few areas that need some improvement to REALLY make this image POP. First, is the timing of the capture...there is something odd about the nose of this big cat. It looks like it is mashed up on the glass - and now that I look closely that left paw looks a bit darker than the rest of the cat as well possibly because it too is pressed to the glass. I could be totally wrong about the pressed glass issue but if I am right than than the timing is everything. I know that timing must be hard as well as getting the focus just right but I think if you captured the big cat in more free floating water it would look better. Next the sharpness is not even across the whole of the main subject. Again, I know it must be a challenge to effectivately capture this big cat when you are shooting against a glass cage filled with water backdrop. I cannot see the stats listing the photo info but checking what jblaylockrayner had it was an aperture: f8, ISO: 800, and shutter: 1/2500. The high aperture setting is key because the higher the aperture the greater DOF you will get. The front paw all the way back to the tail should be in sharper focus. You may need to play with shutter speeds to get the right exposure due to whatever the lighting conditions may be. Lastly, the blue color cast just doesn't compliment the image as a whole. Yes, it does show that this is taken underwater but you want the tones and contrasts to really pop and the blue cast appears a bit flat. Playing around with the contrasts to the image should make the differences between the light and dark areas really pop. Converting it to B&W Methods of B &W conversion or a adding a duo/tri/quadtone look How to create Duo/Tri/Quadtone Images could really make this big cat *spring* off the page. |

| I like the coloring of yours better and I like that the tiger is right up against the glass. His is a tad sharper, though. Tough call on which is better. |

| Im amazed that you could get a shot so close to that original. Did you bribe the tiger somehow? |
