Congratulation's on producing such a wonderful shot of this magnificent creature Art, just awesome mate....Grant.

Fantastic shot. Ben

Beautiful capture - very nice focus and moment captured and processed so well!

It astonishing work!

Lovely take.  Nice work!

(S)he looks a little bored. There are many photos on this site that I wish I had taken. However, my desire to have taken this one is simply to be close to the subject matter. I love these animals.

Una imagen fantástica, excelente la luz y el procesado. Te felicito.

Un cordial saludo, Joaquín.

Thanks everyone. This guy is one of four cubs recently turned 1 year old. Although you can't see his brothers in this shot he was laying over the top of them trying to escape the heat of the day

Really an awesome shot of this tiger! Perfect framing, processing and composition.

What an icredible capture, Art. Thanks for sharing this. Well done, my friend. Regards, Lawrence.

A great image with it looking right at us. The focus and DOF are perfect as is the detail. 

One thing only I can't accept and if the picture was mine I would have closed his dark eye (if it is not possible to brighten it due to absolute lack of details)! Another possibility is to transplant the other one there, but first you have to select it, give a little feather, layer via copy and duplicate layer and drag to the sick one, adjust it to the size and form of the hole, adjust brightness and contrast to look natural and flatten layers!

Cheers ArtX

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your thoughts on this one.

Pierre, thanks for the feedback/advice. Thank you for taking the time you have to help me out on this one. I had a look at your version and I love it. its a clear improvement on my initial version. Your editing skills are masterful my friend.

STUNNING

absolutely beautiful !

great work !

Your work is so beautiful! I love this shot as many of your other ones. VERY nice work!

Sorry I'm late on this one also Art. This shot makes me want to go up and give this 'little pussycat' a big hug.....but that would be a mistake I guess!! Amazing how gentle they look, and I suppose in their 'family' there are many of those moments. Beautiful composition.

Kindest regards, Gail

thank you all very much

What a beautiful capture of this most extraordinary feline! Those eyes are just captivating! Great detail and light. He looks so relaxed and almost like any one of my cats when they just let me lie down and snuggle with them. Wonderful expression. Beautiful work! Thank you for sharing. :)
