Tyger, Tyger, Burning Bright

When I saw this honest-to-goodness tiger just a few feet in front of me, I was struck not just by her fierceness and dignity, but by how really orange she was. Orange is not a color you see too often in nature. The stripes of a Bengal Tiger can be seen on its skin as well as its fur and are as distinctive as fingerprints on a human. I learned that a Bengal weighs between 300 and 500 pounds and lives up to 15 years in the wild. Its roar can be heard almost 2 miles away. Fortunately while we were at the zoo, Amare gave us the silent treatment.
Woooow! Amazing capture! What a beautiful animal!

That is what I was going to say..or ask...Is this tiger really that orange? Or did you enhance it in processing? That is super orange! They are such gorgeous creatures.

@espyetta I added noise to the background in PS to mute the detail, but otherwise this tiger is au natural!

@allie912 Oh, i See what you did.It does make the orange pop, but is not adding orange! Got it.

One can only stand in awe of a beast as magnificent as this! I never see a tiger that "Tyger Tyger..." does not come to mind!
