Look at the size of the front paw on that thing! :shock:
And to think they're the smallest of the Tiger species.

That's an amazing shot. :shock: It's rare to see him move, much less perform like this. This photo's a keeper for sure.

I think you should go back and take the shot again, this time make sure the subject gives you eye contact... :lol:

Nice shot Fozzi, I would like to see this cropped in portrait orientation with just the front half of the tiger showing.

Great timing on the shot, the lighting is great, also has a studio feel to it! I agree with Ozi on the portrait crop idea, I found myself looking for his tail which is chopped off, is this full frame or cropped already? With the prime your composition is probably a bit limited.

What was he jumping towards and for?

That really did turn out well. Looks even better on the big screen.
