Tiger

Tigers (Panthera tigris) are mammals of the Felidae family, one of four "big cats" that belong to the Panthera genus. Tigers are predatory carnivores.
Most tigers live in forests and grasslands (for which their camouflage is ideally suited). Of all the big cats, only the tiger and jaguar are strong swimmers, and tigers may often be found bathing in ponds, lakes and rivers. Tigers hunt alone, and their diet consists primarily of medium-sized herbivores such as deer, wild pigs, elk and buffalo, but they will also take larger or smaller prey if the circumstances demand it. Humans are probably the tiger's only predator, often illegally killing tigers for their fur or their penises, falsely believed to be aphrodisiacs. From the destruction of its habitat, to the poaching for the fur, tigers have decreased in size and have been placed in the endangered species list. Other than the human, the tiger is at the top of the food chain. A tiger's head often carries the symbol of Wang (king).

Hi Jerolim, what a majestic tiger. Terrific capture and composition. The right side of his head is a bit soft and blurred, but the details otherwise are great. Well done.
Interesting notes too, thank you.

Very nice picture, Jerolim.
Well composed, good POV and nice colours.
Its little soft and seems that you take this through a glass.
Both anyway ist a very nice picture.
Very well done.

Great picture!good POV.

Hello Jerolim

Stunning portrait. This is a very good capture. Such a regal beast. The colour of the shot looks a little washed out and focus is soft. I have posted a workshop. You have done a good job here. Thanks.

Nice close-up portrait Jerolim, Good details, sharpness and the eyes here are piercing! Well done and TFS!
