Taken at the STL shoot at the Triple D back in January. Some things are just meant to go together - Tigers and snow just look spectacular and this little kitty really had all the right moves. Thanks to Chas and the gang I came away with really great percentage of keepers. The problem I've got now is that work demands so much from me I no longer have the time to sort them, enjoy them and post a few of them let alone take any new ones :( ! Never mind though, at least I've got my health (if not my hair :lol: ) and one day soon things will change again.

Regards

John Swift

Wow, this wonderful cat really stands out against that snow. This is a beautiful shot.

A real cool cat :D

Nice shot John, those eyes are intense. Great job.

BTW, if you have any UK wildlife / landscapes, we'd love to see them in the Euro forum :wink:

Very nice shot, John. This intense stare is one I will not soon forget. Though it is great as is, have you considered cropping out the snow on the right and making this a vertical comp?

Wow, with a stare like that, I'd want to be sure I could out run at least one person in the group! :wink: Excellent exposure- there's even details in the snow.

Great exposure and sharpness, but I find the high angle a little distracting. Still this is an awesome shot!!

Nice one John. I remember that intense stare and I was the one who everyone could outrun! I hope life calms down for you soon. I look forward to seeing more of your shots.

Wow, that miniature tiger has stepped into a gigantic paw-print in the snow. Nice perspective and beautiful color. :)

Another great shot of this incredible animal that looks like it was taken in Siberia!
