White tigers

The three white tigers live in the palate of king Darius. This Persian king collected exotic animals and nourished mainly the tigers. In its palate in the city of the antiquity these three large tigers forage around the throne of Darius to make just like impression on visitors, the king it wild. White tigers have no appearance of chance in wild. Blank has not been stipulated a camoeflage colour in their environment. As a result, he never unnoticed a prey is able approach. A white tiger the largest effort will starve to come to food and eventually. The white tigers of animal park amersfoort were the first in the benelux. Nobody knows certainly how frequently there white tigers appear in wild. In the last hundred years have been identified less than a dozen in wild in India.

The white tigers of animal park amersfoort are no albinos. If you look at seeing you well that them has blue eyes and a black nose. This in contrast to albinos, which have red eyes and a red nose. The white tigers are a mistake of nature that very seldom occurs. Almost all white tigers which live now in captivity, its offspring of the white tiger which was found in 1951, in the jungle of central India by the maharadja of Rewa.

Nice photo of the majextic white tiger! Exposure is excellent considering what must have been challenging light conditions on a white subject. Good details and very nice composition.

Hoi Thijs,
Deze mooie tijger heb je denk ik goed vastgelegd. Was niet makkelijk het ondergaande zonnetje op het wit, maar het is goed gelukt.
Prachtige houding en pose van je model.

Hello Thijs,
pleasant freckles of light make this image look very gentle.
Fine details, subtle colours, well handled difficult light conditions. The majestic king of carnivores presented in a different, quite idyllic way.
Thank you! Best regards,
Peter

The white colour is quite strange to look at. But you have captured him well Thijs. Good POV with him looking down on you.
And your notes are very interesting too. I know many white tigers are in captivity and I have seen a few TV programs about them too.
Thank you for sharing,
Janice

Hello Thijs,
What a beautiful animal, I've only ever seen one before (in captivity of course). Nicely composed and totally natural surroundings, excellent details and colours throughout. Some small overexposed areas but the areas of detail are all exposed well so I don't think it shows too much. A nice shot with a good note too, nice work.
Regards,
Adrian
