Beautiful majestic creatures all taken with the 20D the 70-200f4L and Tamron SP Pro 1.4 TC.
c&c welcome and encouraged

Those trainers have balls of steel.

Rare White tiger (not albino) one of a pair of twins.

Stunning animals

Those are some very nice pics, but the colors seem a bit muted, highlights are burned out in # 2, due to overexposure of the cat. # 3 and 4 are a lot better.

Nikolas · 5th of December 2006 (Tue)

Yep #2 was very difficult to adjust to get right due to the strong afternoon sun on the right.
I thought about increasing the saturation in the others but the muted colours seem more natural.
Thanks for the comments.

Nikolas, nevermind about all that, what I wouldn't give to be in pic 2, you've captured it, fantastic.

The white one looks as if it has some lion genes in him/her. The face looks more like a lion than a tiger.

Nikolas · 6th of December 2006 (Wed)

Its all tiger.
A recessive gene.
In the wild they are very rare as hensteeth due to them standing out when they should be camouflaged.

Any other pictures or experiences from this place?

We're thinking of visiting from the States.

Nice shots. I agree about the colors being alittle muted but they're still great shots I love the first one. Is that the place were they raised the tigers in their own homes as cubs so they can work with them that close when they're older? I saw a show about a zoo like that over there and the first tiger looks like one that was on the show.
