When I belonged to a riding club, horses, 20 years ago, I learned to shoot with both eyes open. Saved my skin!

Clever paste-up for sure. Otherwise how can the grassy areas behind the tiger and in-between the tiger and the man be so out of focus, while both the tiger and the man, who are at least 10 feet distant from each other, are in so much better focus? Yet another PS miracle? - or maybe Nikon has a new multi-focus lens under development? Seems to me the guy should be much more concerned about that snake he is sitting on and that is eyeing his crotch, than the tiger! (lol, Please note - for humor only, no offense intended).

The photographer is safe as long as that tiger is a Nikon fan.
I think that tiger definitely has Canon on his mind!

Humorous image --point for situational awareness.
I can't count the number of my bird-watching, photograph-seeking, nature walking contemporaries who have stepped on, sat on backed into and even attemped to steady themselves on large, healthy and regionally common cacti. The consequences range from profanity and pliers to remedial, trip-ending assistance and on one occasion, hospitalization. Here in the Sonoran Desert, needle-nosed pliers go in my pack along with water and the other customary gear --they get used at least once a year...

Oh, yes, we have Cylindropuntia Cholla Cactus in California as well. The little tiny "baby" ones or pieces can "get at ya" at your shoes. Finding a safe place to relieve yourself on a moonless night in the Colorado Desert (Low Desert) can be dangerous because of these little devils. A good flashlight when camping is a must. The needles have barbed ends! The only saving grace is their flowers are colorful.
Another Western wilderness hazard is Poison Oak. Most people have heard of that. But a really nasty plant is the Stinging Nettle or Urtica dioica, this plant not only has stinging silica hairs but they are weaponized with toxic and irritating chemicals including Formic Acid (like Fire Ants). More often found in moister places.

Always good advice, whether a tiger or a robber. Be aware and be able to protect yourself. Many of us carry thousands of dollars worth of equipment and that can make us a target.

This is great! Reminds me of the time I was standing outside, finding the best spit to take photos of an exchange of wedding vows, soon to happen. All the guests were seated on both sides from where I stood. A young girl, ~12 years old, quietly walked up to me, tapped me on my arm, and said, "Ma'am, you have a big bug on the bottom of your dress." My husband overheard her, and knowing quite well I would scream (whether or not I looked at it) rushed over, quickly looked at the "big bug" and started kicking the bottom of my dress, repeatedly! Let me clarify, he kicked the dress, not me. The poor child is petrified, watching this man kicking my dress...I'm flabbergasted and sooo embarrassed, thinking, "Why in the world is he doing this?!" Only to learn afterward... BLACK WIDOW spiders don't discriminate and they certainly don't wait politely until the wedding is over!
