Also taken at the Sand Diego zoo. I altered this one a little. The tigers had a chain link fence behind them. I used the clone stamp to hide it. As a rule, I do not alter images of animals in the wild, but when in captivity, I do not like to see anything that makes them look captive. I hope you don't mind.

A fantastic capture of the Tigers Garrett. The colours and details are excellent as well as the pose. A great job getting rid of the fence. Great post.

The black background makes them really stand out Garrett. I used to live really close to the San Diego Zoo. Good post.

Very nice photo of the Tigers Garrett! I'm partial to tigers. I feel the same about man made stuff in an image of nature or animals. Excellent work! Allen

Garrett, this is a fabulous shot of these tigers. I do not really like to think of them in captivity at all, but it does allow us to enjoy seeing them and studying them. You made a good choice to remove the chain link.

Outstanding capture of these majestic tigers! Excellent in details and colours, and fine editing my friend! I would have to agree that I'm not fond of seeing photos of animals in captivity, although that is what you find in the zoos.

That is a great portrait of these two. Love the sharpness. There is a bluish tint to the white in some of the fur. ????
Lovely image.

OK, I put this in PS and brought up the Hue/Saturation box. I chose Blue and moved that slider all the way to the left. That removed the bluish tint. I then chose yellow and moved that slider to the right a little and got a little more natural color in the orange fur. Then I went to the Lighten slider and made the white fur a little whiter. I think this made for a much more natural looking pair of tigers.

They are amazing beautiful animals. Wonderful details. I like that you were able to get two so close. I think the black background is a nice choice.

Outstanding! And the cloning work does not distract at all; you kept the tigers (and their fur) intact, and that's what counts.
