Here's another tiger photo I took, since I was not able to get any overly interesting wolf photos lately (they are just being lazy and on top of this, it's getting dark really early now, before they are active again).
Anyhoo... I got the photo while this tiger was walking through the dense undergrowth, pretty close and thus the frame (taken with a 400mm f/2.8) is very restricted. He was probably only 3-4 meters away so this photo is actually pretty much full frame.
Following him around at this magnification and keeping him in focus wasn't easy through the thick glass that separated me from him, but I think this one worked out pretty well.
Hi, I want to ask you for permission :3 to paint from your photo. I'm not good at painting by watercolors but I' ll do my best ! I hope you will agree . btw. Amazing shot and nice quality ^^!
I love how you can see the focus in the tigers eyes, and how the orange and green go together. The focus is also great, with the blurry green and the part of the face thats in the background.
