Is the tiger taking a power nap, or is that pretty much his routine for the day? Outstanding capture through the fence. You must have a pretty fast lens to have blurred it out altogether. Excellent work, Sandi.

The big cat is relaxing, Very nice shot Sandi.

Reminds me of when I go to the beach and sit in the sun. They are such beautiful animals to behold and your photos are always fabulous. Nice work, Sandi.

He/She is very relaxed - more relaxed than in the natural surroundings. Good one trough the fence.

So lazy and you caught him well....R.

Good lighting and clarity on this chilling cat Tigz. (o:

Great close-up very well done Sandi.

Love the angle Tigz. It is good you didn't have to do any cloning. It shows.

He/she looks how I feel at the moment but in my case it's more tired and lazy rather than 'laid back' lol...that's a beautiful closeup SAS...colors and clarity spot on.

Love the detail clarity in this Sandi and colors are spot-on!

Super looking capture of this tiger just chilling out in the warm sun shine and nice compstion too.

This guy is soooooo tired Tigs!!! They are just as beautiful awake or asleep. Well done through the fence shooting!!!:-):-):-):-):-):-):-)!!!

Stunning colours Sandi. Just goes to show that they're all just pussy cats at heart (or maybe all pussy cats are tigers at heart).

Nothing to do so it must be nap time. Hey when there is something to do it might be nap time. Either way it works for this cat-napper. Good clear shooting Sandi.

Terrific capture.

Beautiful warm colors! Outstanding capture!

Oh it looks so contented Sandi. Another fine shot in your big cat collection

you do these great beast well my friend. all the whiskers are sharp and all the little fine hairs really show off the detail. thumbs up on a good job! im glad the fence and the distance of subject was perfect.

You've capture his relaxed pose enjoying the weather. His eyes are closed tight and just love those whiskers, his fur looks so soft. Brilliant colours and detail

Looks like she could use a nice soft, plump pillow to rest her weary head upon. A good capture of the tiger, Sandi.

Great focus on the cat's fur and especially his whiskers, and the bokeh background is excellent. Your wide crop works very well, too, emphasizing the portion of this beautiful creature we are able to see. Nice work all 'round.

Great pose, enjoying. Nicely done, Sandi.

Very nice. I like the emphasis that the depth of field gives to this cat napper's head and forelimb; also the the photo's width over height emphasizes the breadth of the cat's reclining body seen at this angle, an emphasis which, of course, is in line with the cat's very powerful body.

I also like the seeming blue tint of the cat's white fur somehow echoing the blue in the sky; I find the association very suggestive of strong nature.

I've sort of learned that one can mark a photograph as a "favorite" as this one is soon to be.

Again, very nice!

Great close up Sandi. This one looks pretty amazing while relaxing. Good work.

These animals are so beautiful and look well cared for in this sanctuary Sandi. I would love to visit there.
