I was very pleased with these two since I was manually focusing my Tamron 70-300 as it kept locking onto the fence!

What do you think?

I like them, only a bit dark but still great.
The second on is my favourite of the two.

I would almost crop away the darker right half in the second photo and for reason of composition also his nose then. I'm now doing it with a piece of paper but you should try it, you get a very powerfull image then because all the focus will lay on his eye.

I agree, the first does benefit from some levels treatment!

Bouncings what tiggers do best


The first shot is the best, had the light been better it would have been a cracker. the crop works better on the second shot but sorry to say it still hasn't recued it, looks like Tigger was too close to the fence and you could have done with an f2.8 lens

This one was pacing and growling!

5.6 at 300mm was the best I could do! Now for the DA*300
