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.

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.

Pretty Kitties - my first posted images

Here are a couple from the National Zoo here in DC. There are 3 cubs that were pretty playful last weekend.

Shot with the D70 + Sigma 18-125. Not PP apart from a crop on each.

Please let me know what you think.

Tim PS - now i am confused. I resized in PS7 to 800 on the long end but now they are much smaller. Help?

Nice shots Tim... Very graceful animals...
I like the second one best... You can see the quality of the tiger's coat of fur...



Pixspot has three sizes of photo and you've posted your images with links to the medium sized photos... If you want to display them at full size, then the links you needed are:

Tim, Great shots of the big cats. I have changed the link on your second shot to the full size - when you are in pixspot, click on the picture, another window will open with the full size shot and that is the one you get the link from.

i had a play with 2 tigers when in thailand. Well, i sat nervously and pawed with them. they were more interested in playfighting each other, much to my amusement. But jeez just having a bit of "pawing" playing with them (not shown int he photo) you realise how damn powerful those cats are, and HEAVY.

Lovely pictures :D - you can tell they're still young... paws are too big for their bodies.
I would like to see pic 2 cropped to give a close up shot of the tiger's face - I think it would make the face markings and whiskers really stand out.

Cheers
K.

Good pictures there. I like the second one though maybe without the concrete behind it.

Got anymore of the big cat swimming or close ups? Tigers are huge and sometimes we don't see that in photos.

Thanks for the tips everyone...

I wanted to get tighter shots but my 300mm was on loan to my father in law in Germany. Oh well, the tigers aren't going anywhere and the zoo is free!!

I got to play with one in Thailand as well. A much smaller cub though.

They are such fascinating creatures.

Time to start digging through my photos to post more!!
