This is from Safari Park (Wild Animal Park) last weekend. She paced and paced and finally sat down for her photo shoot. I could have lightened the background but I thought the darkness added to her irritated mood.
Well, that's it - I'm heading to the park. My membership is still good, and I love tigers! Gotta get before the tourists start rolling in. It was great to meet you Joy, and I look forward to viewing your photos.
I had a great time with you and @stray_shooter you as well! I haven't been to Wild Animal Park in years and only recall the tigers being at quite a distance. This is to-die-for fabulous...one of my favorite cats! And yes, your darkly colored image suits the perceived mood beautifully (even if she is smiling on the inside :)
@stray_shooter Thanks Ron! It was great to meet you too! WAP is one of my favorite places to shoot. I always get there just before it opens for the same reason. To avoid the crowds. They have 4 lion cubs too that are full of antics. Think I'll post one tonight.
@Weezilou Thanks Louise! The tiger enclosure just opened last year after a long remodel. They have 2 female tigers right now that I know of. I get the best shots through the glass partition instead of the fence.
