Description And I managed to get another one when all the people walked away from the window. Not brilliant, but better than last years efforts.

Thank you. I don't always get to see them when I visit the zoo. Mostly they are sunbathing up the back of their enclosure.

Thank you very much I didn't think it would turn out good, as the tiger was pacing up and down and the window was dirty with fingermarks.

You managed to catch the tiger without obvious marks AND without glass reflection. You probably have a *shutter finger*.

Nice shot, pretty darn sharp considering you had to shoot this thru the glass too!

Thank you Rettie. I think it could have been better if I hadn't had to photograph it through the dirty window. However, if we didn't have the window, then we wouldn't be able to get this close to him.

In our Rotterdam Zoo there are many glass windows, and indeed, sometimes hard to take pictures because they are so dirty! But being so close to a wild animal is so special.
I remember being in a zoo in the south of France. hat was the first time I saw tigers playing and swimming in the water on the other side of the glass window! I was using my video camera, but at the time we saw the tigers the battery was empty, so I took some pictures of them. (analog camera)

After years of going to the zoo, this is also the first time that I have seen the tiger so close to the public. Usually he is asleep in the shade at the back of his enclosure.

He is just magnificent. The texture in his fur on his body is amazing. Great colours too

I was surprised myself, because the glass that separated us from the tiger was filthy.

I was hoping the glass was thick enough not to break if he decided he would enjoy one of us for lunch.
