Your focus, framing, and lighting are all good. It can be very tough to get photos when they have the bars from the fences in the way, I have a hard time with it too. I like his bright eyes, they look quite interesting with the black and white fur. You did a fantastic job :) Well done and thanks for sharing :)

    Hi csimmons,
    Thank you, glad you think so.
    yes there is a chain link I have the camera to you don't see.
    glad you have a chance as the other lions or tiger had a double link fence and tougher as the did not line up.
    glad you enjoy it but tough seeing it go bling but moving you would not think so.
    thank you, glad you enjoy it. as I went to basto a old community as they had signs and the pines are 2,250 square miles
    so tough as you have to travel to get other shots than the shore.
    thank you for viewing and kind review.
    always,

A beautiful picture of an Albino Tiger with white fur & blue eyes looking in you direction even if it can only see poorly it's hind leg lifted to scratch it's chin. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken withsuperb camera techniques & sharp focus.

    Hi Susan,
    glad you enjoy the Siberian tiger as they took it in from another zoo.
    yes it was funny as it looked up as I have about 10 but enjoy this one.
    thank you as it was tough with the chain link fence in front of it.

    Hi memephotos,
    glad you enjoy it as I hoped it would have a bigger cage but was very active as it took over 10 minutes to get it stopped.
    yes as the second one is going but bounced all over and knew it's surrounding's and did not bump into anything.
    reminded me of tiger on Winnie the poo as it heard you and bounced around.
    thank you as it was tough with the linked fence you don't see but 8 inches in front of the other one so no one could reach in.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

What a magnificent creature. So sad about his eyes, but what a beautiful blue they are. I think the cage bars add interest to the photo showing he's not in the wild. Great job.

    Hi Gail,
    glad you enjoy viewing it as it was tough catching it still as it wanted to play.
    yes it is as 1 seem gone and 3/4 of the other as you can see it.
    but knew I was there and bounced all over like a pet playing as none of them seemed mean being locked up.
    it was weird that it and the bears had bars as the others had a double fence.
    this small zoo takes in other zoos don't want to take care of anymore but my first time there despite 15 miles inland.
    Than You for viewing and your kind review,.

You caught the big beautiful kitty at his best. Blind or not. You can almost see his interest and playful expression. Because of his almost gentle expression it makes me want to go play with him. Great photo thanks for take it and sharing it.

    Hi RuJPmore,
    Thank you as it was tough catching it still.
    it was the most active of 3 lion's and 1 tiger as 1 of 2 bears where active.
    it seemed like one that would like to play and not be harmful but quick.
    your welcome,
    glad you enjoy it.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

Thank you for taking a photo of this rare animal, and sharing it with us on Fan Art. This is a beautiful tiger, and your picture of him couldn't be more perfect. Great shot.

    hi MKFlood,
    I could not reach as another fence is 2 foot before this one.
    maybe but I would not want to try as they have 2 other lions a tiger and 2 black bears.
    glad you enjoy it as I started trying using both lens I have.

Comment from nature rules


Thank you for your artist notes...as the initial view of this capture made me very sad...until I read your notes. I wondered about the eyes. It is wonderful to know the tiger can run and play with his remaining senses enhanced.

A lovely work with your camera. Thank you for the settings. I always study those when they are given. Your are a generous member of FAR!! An excellent post!

    hi nature rules,
    your welcome as I was hoping for better shots, as I tried for some today being warm but went thru 4 forests of at least 12 as the pine barrens are 2,250 square miles taking up about 1/3rd of new jersey.
    it is tough to see it happen but it is safe being in it's own pen.
    yes they where as it bounced like tiger knowing someone was there showing off. :-)
    glad you enjoy it as I picked the one looking up as if I moved may have lost it.
    thank you for your kind words as I try to post stuff but tough when you have the shore or woods and have to travel far for good photo ops.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

Comment from GaliaG


Wow, he is amazing, good catch

still, the fact that is legs are cut off, while there is a lot of space on the top takes from the initial impact and rate

thanks for sharing

    Hi GaliaG,
    glad you enjoy it as they have a few big animals but tough to get a good shot.
    I do have the legs in one but was not looking up to see the face but tough with the fencing you don't see as if I bent over it would have ran again.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.

    Hi a.samanthasena,
    glad you enjoy it as I picked the one looking up.
    it does have nice color as it is a small zoo and was hoping for the elephant but they took it away.
    the small zoo just squeaks by with it's budget but a animal hospital and pets help it just make ends meet.
    thank you for viewing and your kind review.
