You did a really nice job of the side/back lighting. B2 was a wonderful subject and you did him justice. This might have been dynamite as a vertical, too!

Beautiful tiger and you captured him well. Two feet in the air, he seems to half float through the picture. Nice! :toast:
Grt, Ingrid.

Lovely image of tiger walking. It give impression that the animal was in dim light; maybe what you intended. But I would have preferred a slightly brighter version. Excellent photo. Ron Davis

Thanks everybody, this does look a little dark, but the light was awkward he was in the shade of the "jungle" and the sun was rising in the BG, :toast: :toast:

B2 was a great Tiger and it is good to see, his pic. from your camera.
It may benefit from a tad more canvas at bottom and some boost in the contrast.
BTW when did you take this picture?
