Nice Ray. I really like the environment / background of 3. I think the rocks help portray the power of this apex predator walking through the woods. Great portrait in #4.

You mean #6 shot? Actually, this cub was a little angry with us! We were traveling on the road she wanted, we met face to face, so we took a few shots, then backed up out of her way. We always give way to the tigers progress, out of respect.

But the snarl was the signal to move on, and I do wear smelly protection!!

And thanks for your comments!!

Hi Ray,

It was my pleasure to help and a delight to meet face to face.

This is an excellent set of photos yet a few stand out. #3 might have sent shivers down my spine had I been taking that photo. The eye contact, ears back and tense mussels scream this cat is about to attack. The composition is also excellent with the diagonal coming out of the upper right thirds Intersection. I love how this allowed you to place the face in the middle of the frame and isolate it with DOF.

#4, if one could pose a tiger this is how you’d do it. The diagonal of the cat and the lovely environment and eye contact make this one special.

#7 You chose a great focal length to show off the beautiful environment as well as the grace and vibrant coloring of the black skimmer.

#8 I suspect this stunning photo of a kestrel in flight is from one of your flight workshops as the odds of getting this close to a wild kestrel are rather low though I know if you wait long enough anything can happen.

Morris

Thanks Morris, awesome to meet you 2! Yes, the kestrel is a falconers bird, I should have mentioned! I do have some nice flights of wild birds.. not so easy! (in either situation.)

Yes, all nature need a lot more respect then humans have given them over the last 100 yrs, or more.
What we have done is sickening.
