Tiger from Sumatra Photo

Photographer’s Note

This male tiger who has been brought to a Zoo for mating with a female tiger to save the dwindling population of sumatran tigers. Only 300 -400 are estimated to be left in their native habitat Sumatra. These are immensely beautiful and powerful creatures but as you can see captivity has taken a toll on this handsome creature. Efforts should be made to keep them in wildlife preserves where they can roam free. International efforts have saved them from extinction but more needs to be done to rehabilatate them in their proper environment. Thanks for visiting.

Hello Muhammad,
Very beautiful capture of this tiger.
The lines on the fleece, the hairs of the moustache and in the ears are beautiful sharp presented.
What worries me is that the fence is behind this tiger and not between you and him ...
Best regards, Paul

Hello Muhammad.
Great 'portrait' shot of this wonderful beast. What a shame that its numbers are dwindling so badly. Great sharp detail and marvellous colour in this one. I like the narrow DOF which blurs the background. Nice work.
Regards,
Andrew
