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!

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,

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?
