Tiger in water
Apr 6, 2013 13:47:52 #
I just loved the menacing look of this Tiger which I photographed on an endangered species wildlife-safari park in South Africa where they are doing a breeding program for tigers over there due to the mass killing and poaching of Tigers in Asia.
I was about 50-60 metres away from him when he decided to swim towards me, I had got into the back of a Landrover to make my getaway, I was using a Sigma 150-500mm lens on a Nikon D3100.

The eyes look like they are in the "locked on target" position......

I had'nt noticed that JayPat until I saw the image on my laptop, as he entered the water I had immediately got onto the back of the landrover and just started snapping away under pressure of time because our driver (quite rightly) decided it was time to leave, when I finally had the chance to look on a bigger screen I immediately thought like you, those eyes were striking and I would love to have known what he was thinking.

He was probably thinking about the sauce to go with his soon-to-be meal ... you! :)
Great shot and the eyes are hypnotic ... good job!

I have a feeling, looking at that shot.....he was thinking " mmmm, what a tasty meal to set before the king...."
