Hello,
Stephan and I are cat-lovers.
And for some years it was a big wish to be close to a tiger and perhaps to fondle it.

Finally we got the chance now - we've been together with 5 tigers for almost one hour.
During this time we realy were in a funk, and we shaked in our shoes - o no - I remember, we had to put them off ;-) Haha.

But it was very special and one told us they had good lunch before.

But the tiger is defenitely much more photogenic than we both are ... and we were glad they did not damage the Tripod with the camera on it.

By the way - they told us, this one is a "baby" - only 9 months old. I've never seen such a big "baby"!
3 of the other 5 cats we visited were about 3 - 5 years old! I will look for another shot to post it into the WS.


Thanks for your interest and any words ...
Sabine

Hi Sabine:)
You are so lucky!!! - I'm jealous now! - I would like to be near that fantastic animal as well:):):)
You both look so happy - great portrait with this nature beauty!

Hi Sabine
interesting self portraits with a pussycat.
somebody is not too comfortable with this situation. I think it's not the furred one.
good shot (with tripod ?)
greetings

Hi Sabine,

This is a moment that I want to have with the tiger . . Great to see you with this lovely big cat . . but I don't think I have sufficient courage to get close with it . .
Glad to get in touch with you again in TL . .

Hi Wishnu,
really great moment.I am afraid.You are so lucky.Great shot dear friend.TFS.Necla.

Hi Sabine,

Kudos to you for being brave enough to get that close to the tiger. He has an interesting and innocent look on his face, but with those huge paws I would be leary. Your focus is perfect to get his eyes so sharp, and his colors are beautiful. TFS

Warm regards,
Werner

Hi Sabine,
This is fantastic. What a gorgeous cat! A very proud moment. You both look good also! Thanks for sharing this. Julie

Hallo Sabine,
Alle beteiligten wirken entspannt (oder täusche ich mich).Der kleine putzige Kater möchte gekrault werden was auch versucht dein Mann. Wer hat dieses Foto überhaupt gemacht wem soll ich hier für die gute Qualität loben?
Liebe Grüße Siegfried

What an amazing animal - and a great shot. So sharp on its eyes, with the texture of fur well captured too.

Is that you and Stephan in the background??

Wow Sabine, what a day you've had !!
And what a big foots does the cat has. Really great colors and beautiful eyes. The image is very sharp. Did you made this photo yourself ?
TFS
groeten,
Joop!

Bonjour Sabine,

Nice little cat. I love the shot with peoples behind to show how friendly he can be. But legs under the table are kind of disturbing so I did a WS to make them disappear. But still a great shot. TFS

HI Wishnu
You got the eyes with perfection, he is very handsome, the fur with its marking is so sharp, and when looking at those paws you feel like this big baby would be cuddly but one swipe of those paws and its dinner time again.
Dot

Best wishes,
Raimundo

Guten Abend Sabine,
was für ein Foto ! Welcher Mut man haben muss, so ein Foto zu machen ! Aber per total ein interessantes Bild. Nicht jeden Tag kann man so was sehen, nicht?
Gute Kompozition.
Ein angenehmer Abend,
Adrian

Hello Sabine!
Super shot!
Perfect focus on the tigre! Lovely big cat!
Beautiful picture of you and your husband!
Best regards!
Lili

Bonjour Stephan und Sabine
Le regard du tigre est vraiment captivant et la scène est bien mise en valeur par la prise au grand-angle.
Une belle image animalière, bravo.
Bonne journée.

Hallo Sabine, Glückwunsch zu Eurem Traumerlebnis, kann das sehr gut nachfühlen. Ein tolles Erinnerungsbild zeigst Du uns ja von Euch mit der großen Schmusekatze. Ich bin hellauf begeistert.
Lieben Gruß
