Thanks Rooz, I think I will be spending more time in front of the Snow Leopards. They are my favourite and it seems like every time I go I get better photos of them...now to find and borrow some glass longer than 200mm and reasonably fast. It is a shame about that paw, my excuse was being thrilled by being able to capture the yawn.

I cannot see the pictures, therefore
I am unable to comment.

showing fine for me here at work.....i guess i will have to change host soon!

Thanks Cameron, I can see them now.
I guess I prefer the tiger ones. Specially
the one behind the foliage ... is looking
at you kid! It's just I imagine it in the wild.
In the last one, you can see a bit of man
made fencing, which destroys the effect.
The second pictures is interesting, but
it is not showing enough features.

Cool. The look on the tiger through the leaves is amazing. Well spotted and photographed. It's a classic pose.

Love the shots with the mouth open!
The tiger almost looks like he's roaring right at you. He has a really intense look in his eyes.

They are all good images Cameron. The snow leopard is particularly hard to get and you nailed him.

Nicely done Cameron!

Love the expression on the last and the composition on the #3 although on the #3 it would be good to part those leaves a touch. Easier said than done!
