To get this shot, I had to put my tripod on a bench and shoot over the fence. I underexposed the photograph by about 1 EV because I wanted the colors to be very saturated. I then put some light on the tiger’s face with a curves adjustment in Photoshop.
This is one of those shots that you wished you had a better background for the tiger--I just do no think they normally live on this type of grass!
Enjoy.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, 300mm f/4 with 1.7x teleconverter attached (effective 500mm lens), shot at ISO 200, f/8 and 1/125 of a second on tripod.
Nice shot but it seems to be lacking something, especially after your last posting.

Great shot here. The colors look lovely.

For some reason his eyes look a little funny. Like he was out partying a little too much last night and he is not quite here, yet. Nice rich colors and simple background.
