Tiger Tiger!

South Lakes Wild Animal Park today!

Tigers have to work for their chicken here - by climbing up a 30 foot pole to get it!

Hehe, that last shot is fantastic. What I wouldn't give for a pet tiger!

What was the viewing like here - did you take these through glass or a fence or otherwise?

The viewing is from a raised walkway ABOVE the fence around the Tiger enclosure.

That's awesome - all the wildlife parks and zoos I've been to have had the big beasties behind either a fence or glass so photography has been most difficult!

They're grrrrreat!!!
Love the 3rd one. Perfect focus on the eye.

Dudley Zoo is another place where you can get unrestricted views of tigers, but unfortunately, they are in a concrete pit

Excellent!

Very similar to my D200 in handling (have the grip on the D200) - exposure VERY good and focusing FAST.

#4 for me! Looks like well balanced fill flash but exif says it isn't.

very nice

After looking at their website I'd say you could sell them those pics as they aren't doing their best with what they've got on there at the moment. I love it when zoos enrich the animals life like that. #4 wins it for me.
