Hi David, loved the 'expression' you got here although I don't think you avoided the object issue entirely. High ISO? TFS This guy looks HUNGRY!

Great moment captured, that's an awe-inspiring yawn!

Certainly a shame about the wire-mesh fence obstructing the view, it has created a hazy vignette that is hard to ignore, but overall this is a nice shot, well done.

Fantastic capture, you handled the mesh fence well that is in the way, just a very light haze showing now.

Love this shot David an unusual angle and POV.

Hello David,
Poor cat, it must be so hot there... They are rare and precious animals indeed. I don't really like to see captive animals but this is a nice picture in action with excellent composition. I can feel those objects in foreground but zoo shots are not as easy as they might appear :) Well done with nice movement, details and colors.

Good to see you stuff again David. Did you capture a yawn or a roar. probably looks the same as an image. Sounds like you had lots of problems to over come. Well done.

Hello David,
An impressive yawn ;) A great shot which you managed very well - the mesh in front of this 'kitty' is hardly visible. Great details and colours. The whole composition is excellent. Well done, congratulations!

I recognise the little effect that those fence can bring. It's not all the lens who can pass through directly :)
You take him to an impressive moment!
I like the way it is made. Showing the strong character of that animal!

Hi David,
Wonderfull moment captured here with this fed-up Tiger. Thanks for the explanatory note, because I always find it a problem to make a good capture in the Zoo.
Excellent outcome.
