From the Critique Club
I really don't know what I comments I can add that haven't already been pointed out by previous commentors or your outstanding score and ribbon!
This is simply an awesome shot. The focus, DOF and composition are right on. In fact the only things that I don't like about the shot (and very minor at that) are totally beyond your control. I don't really like the background (looks fake because, well, it's fake! It's a zoo...) and the small amount of glare that you did get off the glass.
Nice work and congrats on the ribbon!

Excellent Shot!!! I think that with a little bit more of DOF the shot could take a level higher!

| I've gotten some great shots of these two females at the zoo also. I don't own a digital but this a really great shot. Nice job. Alot of people don't realize you don't aim directly at the glass but aim sort of sideways. Congrats!!!!!!! |

I love this shot, the clarity, expression, even steamy breath. This was one of my favorite shots in the competition. Congrats... you were a worthy opponent! This was a very close competition.
Keep up the good work.

| Not a bad shot, decent composition, but the conspicuouous glare(?) right smack in the middle of the photo is very distracting. |
|

| This is a great capture. There is a hot spot on the right side of his face, but what can you do? There seems to be a little bit of fog or steam or something under the left eye, but that could also be from whatever is causing the hotspot. It almost looks like a lens flare. But again, what can you do? A shot like this you have to take if you're any kind of photographer at all. Great job to get this one and a very good shot 8 |

This is my meat and your not having it. This is one of the nicest pictures of a captive cat I have seen I think (I assume it's captive).
Only one thing. as the depth of field is not isolating the face, and extends beyond the shoulders, it would have been nice to have got the whole body into focus. Now at the same time I do accept that to get him growling like that while looking almost exactly into the lens does not give time to adjust. - I would still hang it on my animal wall.

| This is a fantastic shot. The sharpness of the cat's facial features along with the bits of meat around it's mouth and paws really add to the intensity of the shot...good luck! |

| Great capture of the growling tiger. Looks like it's warning you to stay away from it's meal. The slight blurred face puts you in the action. The eyes were captured beautifully and help to give the emotion of the beast. |

|
01/21/2004 11:14:25 AM |
| Feeding time at the zoo, or a tiger in the wild? Either way, you've captured a powerful expression. This is no cute kitty or tamed beast. |
|
|
|
01/21/2004 08:39:20 AM |
| Fantastic!!! You captured the primal instinct of this animal well. Hope there was a fence between you and this gorgeous creature! Sorry, can't vote on the member challenges, but wanted to wish you luck, I love this! |

Very nice shot, very clear (he needs his teeth cleaned, not that I'm volunteering!) the colours of his coat are really good too! The added steam coming from his mouth is good.
Think I would have liked to have seen more of his body, if that would have been too difficult, maybe more of his paws holding the meat. Alos, sharpening it up a little would have brought out more detail, especially in his face. 7 |

| Did you make this one angry? Obiviously not the type that likes to have his picture taken. |

| Yep, very NG. Excellent capture of expression. Cloing out the sticks coming out of his head would improve the shot a small bit - Well done |
|

01/19/2004 10:05:53 AM |
| WOW this is a great shot, it would be perfect if it did not have that reflection from the glass on the right side, but then again if the glass was not there you would have been desert LOL so great shot ...9 |

01/19/2004 07:07:37 AM |
What did you say to this buddy so he got that angry? Scary!!!
It's a very good picture, In bonus you captured the feeling of cold. Beautiful! 9. |

This is 100% timing. Thses big animal shots all look sedated normaly ;)
Only beef is the whiet flare on his left eye and the trees in th background. Those could have been corrected in seconds, but understand if your trying to maintain a tru photographic record. As it stands a 9, and my hot tip for 1st. |

| Now that is an expression that would scare the sock off anyone! Great shot, I am certainly hoping that is a glass glare on the right eye (his left), this is a great shot 9 |
