Very good wildlife photo. The colours are good. I like the movement of its paw through the water to make it dynamic. Well done.

wel teunie,
Ik was erbij maar ik moet toegeven dat jij van deze gestreste tijger, die druk aan het heen en weer lopen was. Jij toch de beste foto hebt gemaakt. Goede timing that was a must in this one, and you did it do very good here, good quality, very good job.

Hello Teunie!

Nice to meet you and welcome on TN! Are you Jaap's wife ;-) ?
Beautifull debut - one of most amazing animals in great pose. Tigers are probably one and only big cats which like water. I like its dynamic movement, blurred leg, colours of furr and face. Great job!

good action shot..most zoo animals look lethargic and not quite on the ball
this tiger seems to like the water..

Hello Teunie, and a belated welcome to TN!

A wonderful first posting and great composition.

It is unusual seeing a cat like this in the water, he appears to be in a hurry...

Great details, colors, POV, and exposure.

Well done and thank you for sharing it with us!

Hallo Teuni,
Als vrouw van John wil ik graag zelf antwoorden, wat uw engels betreft ik heb zeker begrepen wat u geschreven hebt. Samen zijn wij ook al naar de dierentuin geweest, en volgend jaar zullen wij opnieuw naar de zoo van Antwerpen gaan, misschien probeer ik dan ook eens iets te forograferen.
Want dit beeld is zeer mooi, ik hou veel van dieren, wat een mooie tijger, men zou hem willen aaien maar dit kan natuurlijk niet.
Mooi gedaan u heeft een goede leermeester.
Groeten van Jenny.

That's a lovely picture. Slightly soft in focus, but that doesn't distracting at all. I like the moment captured, POV and framing very much.
WELL DONE!

Nice capture, I love the movement. The only thing I would mention is that you could leave more room on the right, just to allow the tiger some rome to move in the picture.

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Teunie
This is a good shot of the tiger. The composition is great with nice movement. He is causing a great splash in the water and you froze the droplets in mid air.
The exposure and lighting are well done while the colours are great. The DOF is good and the details are sharp throughout.
Very good work and well done. TFS.

Loot

Hi Teruine,

This is our national animal!!! , you have captured it very well, i like the composition, colors and the DOF.

I am one of the unluckiest few who has not seen this animal in the wild even after visiting Bandipur(Karnataka) around 24 times, that talks about their numbers. unless the poaching stops ( mostly for chinese medicine!!! ) . There is no hope for this animal.

It's nice to see a shot of a tiger that is active. The tigers at my local zoo do nothing but eat and sleep. The action is nicely captured with the motion blur and the look in it's eyes!

Good high speed capture to have the clarity of the water frozen. This is a sharp text book like image.

Hi teunie,
A good shot,well composed.Being from the "land of the tiger" and spending a lot of time following wild tigers,I find the colour a bit too yellowish.You may see some of the photos and notes of wild tigers I gave in my gallery.Regarding group,tigers are not seen in groups unless they are mother and cubs.Unlike lions,they are solitary animals.The greatest threat to tigers in India come from Tibet where people give exhorbitant price for its skin.Last year alone more than 300 tiger skins were smuggled out of India.India's hospitality to Tibetan exiles due to Chinese invasion have become the death knell for the tigers,whose last post has aleady been sounded.During the turn of the century India had more than 40,000 tigers and now it is only less than 2000.Sight of a tiger in the wild with all its majesty is a sight no one can forget. Next generation Indians may have to go to zoos like Rotterdam zoo to see the tigers.

Schoon beest,Teunie. Ik vind het persoonlijk heel spannend om grote katten te fotograferen.
Zelfs achter (liefst) tralies;-).
Mooie foto.

Hallo Teunie,

Dit is een hele goeie foto van deze prachtige tijger die je hebt gemaakt. Echt heel mooi vastgelegd.
Als regelmatige bezoekster van Blijdorp, ken ik het verblijf ook waar deze tijgers zitten. En je hebt echt geluk gehad dat je deze zo mooi kon fotograferen, want vaak zitten ze nogal eens verstopt binnen of tussen het groen.
En zoals anderen al voor mij hebben gezegd: Well done!

Groetjes, Nel

Hi Teunie,
Prachtige actiefoto van deze tijger. Leuk om te zien dat elke tijger weer een ander strepenpatroon heeft.
Mooie kleuren en scherpte op de kop.

Hi Teunie.
Fantastic in its impressiveness POV and close-up view. Great reflection of mood and all details of this majestic animal. Its movement is reflected perfectly too. Composition and cropping are irreproachable. BRAVO and best wishes.

Hello Teunie

Beautiful photo.
Tigers are my lifelong passion.
This is a great photo showing the focus in the tiger's eyes.
He definitely looks interested in something and is moving purposefully through the water.
I really don't like zoos but very soon this will be the only way that people will ever be able to see a living tiger.
Excellent photo and thanks for sharing it with us.

Regards

Roy
