I had no idea while processing this today that it was 'feline week' on NSN, or that every third post would be a tiger, which is great for me, because they are my favorite big cat. Keeping with the theme, here is my contribution; one of my favorite close up images of the tiger from the Triple-D, intensely checking out the potential 'snacks' on the other side f the cameras. I've been very slow processing my pictures from January's STL workshop in Montana, though I am trying to get caught up before next month's STL workshop in California. How do those of you who photograph more frequently than me stay ahead?

I am looking forward to photographing this cat again soon, hopefully in better light conditions. I guess I'll be processing those pictures sometime next year!

Fantastic shot Brett, techs are spot on. I love that intense stare. Is that Chas's reflection I see in her eyes

Excellent head shot the snow really adds to the picture. Great Kitty.

Wow, I'm really drawn to this tiger's eyes! Outstanding capture.

Oh, and I like your avatar, too.

One of your very best. The eyes are killer.. I really like the tight crop on this one. See you in CA. I am not done processing my Jan images either.

I definitely wouldn't want to be the target for that stare.

Great job!
