Tiger and Chimps

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Wow you did well to get the focus right on the first one especially with f2. Is this a crop from your original or was the lion close to you.

Love the 3rd chimp shot. Great capture and processing.

thanks surenj, i was surprised how many turned out actually and how sharp they were. i would have taken about 40 odd and around 50% were perfectly focussed. which was surprsing to me given its thru glass, (pretty grubby too), at f2 and the exposure was very tricky. they are not cropped at all, he was no more than 2m away from me, (glass in between of course !). first time i've seen the tiger move like that in the last dozen or so visits.

Whilst all of these are good, number 4 is the stand out - has that "moment" about it

Rooz - all very nice captures, well done.

Sumatran Tiger #1 - excellent eye contact, in motion with right foot elevated.

I have to agree with others, the steeler of the show is #4 - Chimp, capturing the moment of affection to her young :)
