Tiger

I go straight from the camera to Photoshop CS. I'm still tweaking the sharpening tools, but it looks better before I have to save it for the web to be able to post it here.

I dont like it

After looking at his work, I can see why he doesn't like it...Doesn't have a clue how to use a camera....

...and after this series of shots, I am now left with a right leg, and four fingers....the beast absolutely tore me apart...JUST KIDDIN'!!! Captured or not, these images are simply awesome! My 8-year-old daughter sat here noding, approving my comment as I typed. All our thumbs are up!!! (seriously!)

Great shot! My question is with ratings -- this is obviously a very well executed photo, and one most of us would be proud to take. I just don't understand the high ratings for originality. A head on shot of a tiger, even in snow, doesn't seem that original. A phenomenal photo, yes. Original, no. What am I missing?

I kind of agree with Scott, I believe that what he is missing is what many of us are missing, a different variable in the rating system... maybe FEELING?. I will put a high rating in both variables, A & O, even when I know it's not the first (or second) time I've seen a frontal picture of a running tiger but to congratulate a good photographer for a great picture with the few ways I have here. Does it make any sense?

quite a good summary on what a big cat is about: power, purpose, and ehhh, purring?

I just say the words that are coming to my mind

motion,power,beauty,fright,power,beaty,..

 

thank u realy

What a photo......even in the Netherlands this photo looks incredible!! But by a tiger in this range of my lens I prefer to replace my camera for a good pair of runningshoes....

Brilliantly captured

One of the best tiger shots I've seen... and original, since you rarely see tiger shots with the tiger charging straigt at you and in the snow.

Nice colors and capture roger, RK!

About sharpening focus, just a little perhaps but we must remember that the subject is moving fast on the same line of the lenses axis making focusing an extremely difficult task, the later example done with Nik is too much sharpened for my taste because the lack of the original tonality, at all this fact doesn't change the absolute beauty of this formidable animal captured in your photo, the aesthetic is 7. About originality, well, the originality isn't related only with a "subject never seen before" shot (a fundamentalist originality concept means that no one deserves a seven then), but a different striking impression about a known subject. This is a siberian tiger running in the snow straight toward the camera, performing an extraordinary demonstration of beauty, intelligence, and strenght. The perfect equilibrium deserving a 7. About the "fat" commentary, please, as I told you this cat is a siberian tiger, because he needs protection against the freezing environment the hair is so much longer and dense than the India or Shri Lanka tigers living in tropical forests, then the animal looks bigger and fatty. An optical illusion.

Fantastyczny portret. Uwielbiam tygrysy.

what a look...love it, my favorite animal.

7/7

best regards, Simon.
