Indochinese Tiger at the Houston Zoo in July. There were two tigers that slowly made their way through the brush of a mini-island, taking turns entering the water for a swim..

Sweet! Nice perspective, a bit of a reflection, and beautiful animal.
You might saturate both the eys and the tongue a tad more to bring them out.
Hot, indeed - 103 here!

Howard, I don't think this is your backyard pond...

Fine look at this Tiger cooling off with great detail in the head and shoulders plus a lovely reflection.

Nice capture of this guy. I too have enjoyed taking photos of swimming tigers at the Fort Worth zoo.

Very sharp in the face and nice reflection.
Still fresh after 10 years.
