 Shot this from a LOONG way away through a fence using 300mm zoom. Trying yet another completely new editing technique for me (using airbrush). I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I really like the expression on the face, but as you probually know the background is distracting. Also the coloring looks a little fakish. I would try toning done the oranges a tad bit.

Wow Jimmy this rocks dude. Too bad she's not looking at ya saying "dinner"! The editing is great with the lovely bokeh in the background. Slight harsh lighting but it doesn't matter all taht much because of the wow factor that this image has ;)

Hey SJ,

Love this shot, the airbrush technique looks good and, good use of DOF. I like the face of the Bengal and as mpeters says the eyes pop and catch your eye first.

Great capture.

Great "pose" and it has a surreal painted effect which works well. His eyes are nice too.

I am seeing a bunch of tiger shots lately - this one rocks. The processing gives it a painted kind of feel. The colors are great but maybe a bit much on the eyes. The background works well to just highlight the kitty.

Nice processing. This really jumps off the screen. Love the shallow DOF and eye-popping color. This image is so alive! I'm not sure about the cropped ear. But it's not enough to detract, IMO. Wonderful shot!
