Wow Gerhard, I'm so jealous for your close encounter with this magnificant animal! And for this terrific photo! Fantastic colors and focus. Love the texture of his coat - would love to run my fingers over it... but suppose I won't ;>) Would like to have the BG more blurred, but very nice regardless. -Jenn

This tiger is wonderful, they're my favorite animal, I so wish I could just ruffle his ears! I love the look on his face, so intent on what he's looking at. The background compliments the shot so well. Super!

What a magnificent shot! The fact it was so close gives a special dimension to this picture. It adds a kind of human factor, like if it was a friend of yours. Still, the typical ferocious feline eye and half open mouth are well present, but it doesn't look like a dangerous factor for you. Getting this feeling with a wild animal in his real environment is a performance to me. Great shot, Gerhard! I appreciate your note summarizing the global tiger situation.

VERY Very very nice! I love this face - who would not? Post the others too, it will make a beautiful contribution to the felines already in the theme. Love the eye and intent pose.
Lekker naweek

It seems you have just washed this one with shampoo and hairdressed before the shot. Very beautiful capture. Perfect for comercial use with the soft atmosphere. A great shot.
Thanks, Gerhard.

Hi Gerhard,

Brilliant shot, Tigers are my favourite animals but their not the largest, ligers (cross between Tigers and Lions) are a bit bigger than Tigers!
Anyway, great DOF and good sharp details and the blurry background and good composition makes it especially effective!
This I think 100% deserves a favourite!

Extremely well done,

Danny
