I took this photo last month with the trusty 100-400mm lens (I know I've mentioned before how much I LOVE that lens...can't help it) and I know I've posted the colour rendition of this photo before. I can't help going back to it again and again. For one thing, I still have visions of a very bored white tiger looking at me with disinterest, but when Leah starting talking to him and asking him questions like, "are you hungry?", I couldn't help but snap his photo when he showed such interest in a little girl. Perhaps he was hungry or perhaps he liked the sound of her little voice. It must be so boring living in a zoo instead of the habitat he should be living in.....BUT it's nice that there may be a few more tigers in the world because of conservational efforts. Isn't he just beautiful? The black and white quality of his fur made the transition to B&W tones quite easy in photoshop.


beautiful photos. what attentive eyes that tiger has!
