She's a great model I'd love to spend a day with this dangerous beauty, but definitely like you, from the other side of the lake! :D

@Behrooz: Haha... Behrooz, well the lake was really small and she did jump into it to get to me. LOL!!! Will post that pic also later. Neverthless i had my fun shooting this gorgeous beauty, though most of the times i was busy playing with her so that my other photographer friends could shoot her in action. ;-)
@Shrig: Thanks Shrig. :)
@allyy`*: Nah, this wasn't that scary compared to the earlier one. LOL!!!

lovely pics... look at the legs of the tiger... moving in, step by step...to its prey...
Good Shot!

@Anthony: Thanks Anthony, yep she was in continuous motion and it was kinda difficult to focus those sharp eyes. :)
Amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
Wow!! Rahul!! EXCELLENT!! Great pose!! Great timing with that shutter!! How'd you pp this? The colours are so intense without being over saturated. And it has that 3D effect... come on, fess up!!
17 Jul 2007 2:05pm
@Amy: Thanks Amy, i did some gaussian blur on this keeping selected parts sharp, specially the face and the eyes, then enriched the color with some filters and saturation settings along with contrast adjustment. The 3D effect was due to the pose it was shot in. ;0) Now i do make time to touch up the pics like you do, before posting it. Lesson learnt from you. :)
@celialee: Thanks pal. :) Yes she was beautiful, not that deadly though. ;-) I am still alive. haha....
@Christie: Thanks Christie, yes it was at the Zoo. :)

WendyTsang.com from Hayward, United States
It's like she's posing for you! You know, I think I'm inspired now to take animals picture =) I loved your tiger shot. Maybe the focus can be on the eyes. Nice one Rahul!

@WendyTsang.com: Glad i inspired you Guru. ;-) I wanted to get those sharp eyes, but the beautiful beast was in motion all the time, and never stopped for me to get her clear. This was the best i cud get, as i was also playing along with her and getting her to move around for my freinds to shoot her in action.
@Bob Israel: Thanks Bob. :)
@Amit: Nah... you can have her if you want her bro. ;-)
