Tiger

[colin C]

I took this image some time ago and although I have kept in my favourites file, I just haven't done anything with it. So, I have tweeked it a little, reduced it to the correct size for projection and will enter it into the next camera club competition.

So what do you think and even more importantly, any ideas for a title? I'm rubbish at titles so would welcome any help.

Lovely shot. I have no direct experience of club competition but suspect that the face being predominantly in shadow will not be liked....much better than most efforts in the RPS IPE that I went to yesterday in Bristol!
yours shows what can be achieved with 8MP too!

A lovely shot Colin. Now Title, 'In Thought' - 'Contemplating' - 'How long more is he going to be stood there with that Camera'

Lovely shot. the haze on the bottom right is a tad distracting. Is it his/her breath? Title: penny for your thoughts.

Looks much better on flickr

I thought so as well, just a tad too dark here. Thankfully, it will project OK at the Camera Club.

It does have a "restful feline".

Lovely Puddy Tat.......Not sure I would stroke it though

[ST-EOS]

I do like this portrait of a predator. Well done Colin, I hope it does well in your competition

Not sure I would stroke it though

I was at the Heritage Breeding Centre in between the bars and one of the lady's said "Can I stroke it?" I thought OMG how stupid, but the keeper said that's OK as long as I am feeding her tidbits. So she put her hands through the wire and started stroking the Tiger ............... and so did I. Very rough fur, I expected a bit of soft and silky.

So, do you find it awkward now holding the camera and adjusting settings with one hand.
