Like the washed out colour on this Phil, but the vignetting looks a little obvious - have another go!

It looks how I feel at the moment. :eek: :biggrin: :wink: I think the first image as a slightly more atmospheric feel to it. Great stuff.

I also prefer the first one despite the obvious vignette :biggrin: A tighter crop would be interesting as I do not think the half legs/feet do anything for the image :wink:

Cheers David & Bob, Kind off like the half legs as they act as a frame for the head IMO. Thanks for the suggestion though. Hope to see some more tigers soon. :wavey: :toast: :toast: :toast:

What's he thinking? Probably wishing he could be rid of those flies. A fine portrait, Phil.
