Default Tiger Photo.... I Like it...do You ???

Hi All this is my first poste here.

I managed to get in close to some tigers recently & rattled of several dozen shots. on reviewing the days exploits I came across this one I love it.

I know the Horizon shouldnt cut the photo in half but..........

This is as shot apart from reducing the file size a bit

Any comments are most welcome..

What a great shot! Love the clarity and sharpness of the tigers chin. I don't think you have the horizon cutting the picture in half - it is on the bottom third line so no problem there. Anyway it is out of focus enough to be barely noticeable.

Your DOF is great so the horizon is not really a problem as the focal point is on the tiger, and what big teeth he has. Nicely done.

I'll add to those compliments, plennin. I love the fact that instead of the usual head-on shot, you chose an unexpected viewpoint that really makes the reader take a close look. Very strong image and I'd love to see more of your work!
