Excellent timing to get this big cat with its tongue dipping for a drink.

That's right tiger stripes are like finger prints, no two alike.

Your camera technique is just right for this take. All action stopped perfectly.

The color range and lighting of the take are well balanced and contribute nicely to the overall eye appeal of your composition.

I like how you framed this take with just enough of the cat in the scene to give clarity and dimension.

A really good big cat take ... B-)) Bob

Great side view with nice stop action on the Tongue!
I believe these tigers are also known as Siberian Tigers. Both Amur And Siberian are the same species.
What a unique one of a kind capture and posting here of a tiger licking ice.
Fine focus, POV, details and VERY nice white balance control!
Your improving GREEEEATLY!
