Do You Dare ??
Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 10 July 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.
This was the tigress that fell in love with me at the Zoo, it was playing around and literally running around with me in the directions i was moving. My friends told me to keep it busy so they could get some good shots.
I was left out there in shooting, but i did shoot my share of this lovely beast.
See those eyes ?? Do you dare to look into them ??

Nice composition. but the foto looks bit soft though....maybe it is due to 300mm lens that u use.
Love the stare from the tiger, maybe u should try move in nearer and befriend the tiger? hee
