Hmmm! Delicious photographer, bring more, a photo from Florida, South

Photographer's Note

At the Miami Metro Zoo.
This white tiger is one of it's main attractions, and it's located near the main entrance with two other ones that aren't white. At 1100 is their 'snack' feeding time: some balls of meat given by the tiger-keeper are eaten without any fight because she throws it towards each one.
The white tiger was, luckyly, very near the sidewalk, so I stepped on a bench and shot just after the last piece of meat with my 75-300mm at 300.
I did some PP, cropped, increased saturation 3%, USM slightly.

Excellent photo. I am glad that the tiger is not in the centre of the picture. The colours are fantastic as is the contrast between the white animal and the very greeen background. You got him at the exact right time with his tongue out. Well taken!

jajajajajajajaja jajajaja Jurgen!!!!

sigo riendome!!!
pero que bello animal, le agarraste justo despues de tragarse un fotografo, menos mal que no se trago tu lente de 300mm

Buenisima

Rare! A white Tiger, a nice pause with big "hands" in front, a nice tongue mouvement. I guess you could not get this picture with a numeric camera, did you?

elroyie (2750) 2004-07-24 13:49

According to the look in its eyes and his tongue, you look very delicious!!!

Very good catch and very good composition, I think that the picture is little bit bright, there are some details in its fare that lost.

Nice kitty - Hopefully not hungry - Well Taken - Japie

I like this capture with it's fun title, Jurgen. The albino really looks hungry and menacing. Like the compo and sharpness - his fur is very nicely captured and your 300mm brought you a great (shallow I should say ;-)) DoF. Very fine job!

Gbutler (772) 2004-07-24 23:11

Happy kitty :o) Great shot!

Excellent moment shot, well done Jurgen.

Jeppe (18654) 2004-07-25 16:59

Great humor Jurgen - He seams to be a bit hungry - glad you got the big tele on ;-) and hopefully was behind bars as well - I better post my tiger shot next :-)

RAP (1053) 2004-07-26 10:04

Espectacular Jurgen... por el animal y el oportunismo de la captura.
Gran definicion y profundidad de imagen.
Voy a incluirla en el tema Endangered donde se tambien incluyeron la del tigre blanco que yo retrate aqui en Buenos Aires

He is beautiful !!! i wouldnt want to step into his cage.. Well seen !!

Bac (388) 2004-07-29 15:56

Ton commentaire est très drôle, un peu plus de contraste aurait peut-être rendu la photo encore meilleur ?!

rajhema (1873) 2005-11-03 11:02

Interetsing comments. How far away you were when you took this picture?

Greqt picture, good composition. The depth of field is just right.
What impressive creatures these are

Hello Jurgen!

A perfect timed picture! And a good humorous title:) The beautiful contrast between the white tiger and the blurry green background is perfect. A really nice DOF. And that you did not center the tiger was a good thing. Not making it a portrait but rather staging a nice and excellent scene! Love it!

Regards
PeCO
