Tiger, Tiger

[Maritimer1]

Just returned from a trip to Florida. Taken at Busch Gardens, this is one of my favourite photos. He (or she) was just on the other side of the viewing glass. I think he may have spotted his reflection from his side or another animal across the way.

One of my very favorite animals, and nicely captured, especially shooting through such thick glass. You might consider a crop on the right side if you dont need to preserve a photographic ratio. Well done

My guess is that she's got her eye on a small child.

Well, now that would be a very good reason for the glass, Jim <LOL>.
Kevin, you're right. I always forget that photos for the net don't have to fit the print ratios. I did crop out the viewing box at the top right that contained two people looking through the glass. Unfortunately, in the process, I had to crop out another tiger in the background. What beautiful creatures.

I'm rather partial to Tigers! Does this guy have blue eyes. So beautiful and a beautiful photo! thanks for sharing.
