We had some friends visiting from overseas recently, and somehow it was my job to take them to the local attractions. I took this shot at Australia Zoo. C&C more than welcome.

I like the shot.

I would have preferred a closer crop to help focus attention on the tiger, as the reflections off the surface make it hard to find a focal point (IMHO).

Looks like it would have been a difficult shot, again, due to the reflections playing havoc with metering, so well done!

Nice shot in trying conditions. They (the Tiger cubs) have grown a heap since I was there last! I love Tigers, might have to make another trip up there later in the year!

Thanks. I'll experiment with that a little at home. At the moment, the size is perfect for my wallpaper. :)

Thats my favourite job....you get to go to all the coolest places and with good company....take some photographs and create some memories...what more could a girl ask for...

cept maybe chocolate and stuff...;)

The colours are good....and I like the water that is pouring off the tigers chin...I agree with the others re the crop...but I don't mind it as it is though...:)
