This is a new male tiger at the Indianapolis Zoo last winter. As I was taking his picture, he turned and started stalking towards me.

Nikon D300

80-400 lens at 400mm

f 5.6 ( there are two sets of fencing to try to shoot through on this exhibit)

Any comments are welcome.

Nice shot of a Siberian (Amur) tiger in the snow. Nice detail in the tiger and in the snow. Thanks for sharing.

This is really 'in your face'! Good shooting through the fences, no hint of them here. Would like to have seen all of the tigers ears.

Nice, Jackie. Seems to really not like cameras...

What a great pose - and good capture under tough conditions!
Fine detail in the whites and face.
I'd suggest toning down the blue snowa bit by reducing the blue channel.
Really nice!

I like the "tight" shot on this one focusing on the face and mane.
Good work.
