Default Tiger at the zoo....a little testy!
She was a little unhappy with me being there. Good thing I was behind glass!

Nice picture, I like it. Although personally I would of Liked the DOF to be a tad less, not by much but a little.

I agree, but I was using a 100-400mm, dealing with glass and not much room to maneuver.

Love the shot and the DOF 'as is' works well for me. I like the fact that the teeth in the lower jaw are just losing focus.

Nice one

God shot. I might crop off a bit above the eyes to remove that white area. It would also intensify the fierceness.

This is a seriously frightning shot Imagine there was no glass between you and the tiger

Love the fact that there's some saliva just about to drip off from the top fangs

Excellent capture. Kudos to you!

She was actually sitting in the water. She roared at me a few times and the last time she actually swatted the water at me! I was bummed I didn't have the smaller lense on to catch that action!
