69 Mar 26 Comment As nature photographers, I believe that it is our duty to portray wild life to their best advantage. Thus the sleeping bear is not an ideal subject. I wont suggest waiting for it to wake up as it probably can sleep for hours!
As mentioned last month, the problems shooting in a zoo are the backgrounds. So its best to zoom in as much as you can and then crop to show us just the head.
If the file size is too small, there is a new tool in photoshop that allows you to upsize. Go to Image>generative upscale. You have the option of increasing 2X, 4X, and so on. Then you can crop your image accordingly.		 Mar 11th
69 Mar 26 Reply Good suggestion with the vignette.
This was taken from the lodge across the waterhole. So I couldn't get any lower or any closer.		 Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Comment I too prefer the color version. I find the b&w too dark. And I enjoy viewing the wonderful natural coloration of the tiger. Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Comment I agree with the previous comments. Living in Florida I can't imagine getting up and going out in such freezing conditions!

Well done on extending the canvas to give more space at the bottom.		 Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Comment Everything works here. The lighting is beautiful, it is perfectly sharp and those eyes are amazing. I guess you were able to get fairly close as it was in a conservatory.

Just to nit pick - I would crop some off the right side so that the owl is not dead center.		 Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Comment I do like the composition and applaud you for getting up so early to capture this scene. I wish the foreground was lighter. Did you try opening the shadows in the foreground only? Mar 4th
69 Mar 26 Comment Here is a JPG copy of the original raw file Mar 3rd
