Taken at Orana Wildlife Park in Christchurch. They have two beautiful male Sumatran Tigers and a really high class enclosure giving excellent clear view of these magnificent Cats. Thanks for looking.

The Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is the smallest of the remaining five tiger subspecies. It has lived exclusively, for over a million years, in the once extensive moist tropical jungles of the island of Sumatra, Indonesia. Their population in the wild is now heavily fragmented and is estimated to range between 400 and 500 individuals. Groups of between a few and several dozen tigers can be found principally in and around Sumatra's national parks.

A fine shot Pam.

You've caught the magnificence of the beast really well.
The coat is beautifully saturated with those oranges and the face well focused.

Absolutely fantastic portrait. Well defined colors along with superb detail and a beautiful pose make this a masterpiece! Hat's off!

Hi Pam,
this is a beautiful picture of the Sumatran Tiger.
The details and exposure are spot on.
Lovely colours and a nice low POV.
And the DOF is perfect, the tiger is well seen against the BG.
Great work, my friend.

Hi Pam,
Very sharp Sumatrab Tiger; a wonderful animal.
Well composed.
My nit is the background, more specific.. you can still see the enclosure a bit if I'm not mistaken. Touching up through pp can change that.
Well done

Hello Pam, great picture of this Tiger, excellent portrait, he is so beautiful. Great POV and composition. Very sharp and detailed capture, congratulations in a fine picture.

Hi Pam,
An excellent capture!
I like so much your POV and the pose caught on the tiger.
It's very good the color saturation, sharpness of the image and the nicely blurred background.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM

Lovely color and well contrasted portrait Pam.
Very sharp & detailed, great use of F/5.6 to blur the BG. Did a quick WS to try & soften the right corner a bit..
Gee wiz, you're turned off I quess..I'll just send it to ya to be totally obnoxious ;}

This is an amazing shot of this gorgeous tiger, Pam.
The details are just fabulous, giving the cat a fur with such texture... I want to reach out and touch him.
Wonderful pose and composition too.
