"Tigger" bouncing.

This picture was taken @ Orana Wildlife Park in Christchurch in July ( Mid-winter) last year at around 11AM.
Pentax K10D and Tamron 70-300mm.
Sorry no more EXIF details as at the time did not keep originals !!!!
A lesson learnt !

Love the action and the subject. Was this through a fence?

Image looks like it might have a slight green cast.

Thanks Robert for your comments.
Picture was taken from behind a wall behind a moat.
I do have a bit of difficulty getting correct colour rendition with tigers.
Anyway here it is with Color Variations set to Reduce Green : Highlights.
Unfortunately that left a pinkish look so then Color Variations: Reduce Red:Highlights.
Marginal difference only.

Nice action and the repost has better color in my opinion

Ian,

Report looks great. Nice action and you left more room in front of him which is what you want to do so he has a place to run into.

[Ian McHenry]

Thanks Bob & Robert
I recently located (LOL) another pix from same burst and edited with Add "Blue highlight".
Gives a bit different colour again.
Cheers: Ian Mc

Ian,

Nice action here but the focus looks to be behind the tiger. You could try selectively sharpening him and a blur on the BG.

[Ian McHenry]

Thanks Robert your guidance on these pictures is much appreciated.
I have sharpened the 2nd image and done some gardening with spot healing brush.
