Note: I apologize for the harsh light angle and the shadow cast on the tiger’s face, but this was the best capture angle given by my friend the tiger, after baby sitting him for about twenty minutes to take his portrait.
This kitty cat was chilling out, resting, from the morning heat and humid temperatures. This magnificent cat is a resident of Miami’s Metro Zoo. He was painted with a Nikon D300s, using a Nikkor 300mm f/2.8G IF-ED lens, with a Nikkor 2.0T/C.
