Just haven't been able to get out to do new pics recently so here's 3 shots from my archives.
Taken at 'Dartmoor Zoological Park' here in Devon. It is not a very large park and there are not masses of animals but these big cats were in a great setting with no bars and wire netting with a moat of water between them and the public which makes for great photo opportunities.
If you are ever down our way it is well worth a visit. Hope you like them.
Many thanks to you all for your votes and comments on my last upload, your continued support is appreciated so much.

All three images are superbly exposed, for my vote I choose ver 2. The colours and the fact the tiger appears looking straight at you are what win me over.

excellent work and a reply to your reply on whitie etc no offence taken to your help i do shoot in raw and manual exposure i think its maybe my photoshop work that i do afterwards make me loose the detail in the fur as i would put a lot of contrast and do levels to try and lift the image and make it brighter .i do find it takes away detail from my fur i also find it does the same with any wedding dresses etc i would shot they would come out good detailed and then if i try to bump up the contrast the detail in anything white goes lol i must try and use that minus exposure compensation though as it is something i would not use i am farly new to photography myself only started now two years in a learning curve
