Thank you so much! I´m still glad I could capture this. The sisters are amazing to observe; but they move so fast my eyes can barely follow them. So I enjoy to study details on the photos. The anatomy of tigers (and other animals) is just stunning.

Splendid moment capture!!! And you compose it very well! Too bad there is shadow from wire but that is zoo .. it is always about compromise. Great shot!

Yes, sometimes there´s no chance to get a photo without artificiel things at the zoo. But since there´s no other chance for me to see so many exotic animals nor to take photos of them it´s okay.
I´m just happy that I could capture this precious moment of life. ^^

Super Foto, aber leider der typische gelbe Hintergrund von den Wänden. Aber da kann man leider nichts dagegen machen.

Sikaris In reply to spike83 [2009-07-17 14:25:45 +0000 UTC]

Danke schön! ^^
Ja, die gelbe Wand mit dem Schatten vom Netz ist ärgerlich, aber wie Du sagst, da kann man nichts machen und ein Foto so stark zu manipulieren ist halt nicht mein Stil. Ich bin einfach froh, dass ich die beiden so erwischt habe.
