Superb Tiger snapshot. I'm wondering that you have managed this superb close-up with excellent details with 70mm. Well done Ken.

I think the comp is fine here, Ken. On my monitor there is a decidedly greenish cast, easily tweaked in post. Perhaps it is the result of color reflection off foliage?

Very nice. I am also wondering how close you were to the action when a 70mm is too much lens.

Thanks everybody for your kind comments, which are much appreciated.
It seems that the distance to subject is not recorded in the EXIF data, but I think we were probably less than 15 metres (45 feet) from the Tiger
