Absolutely fantastic shot Karen! The detail in this photo does't come without being up close and personal - which begs the question - just HOW close were you to this large beautiful cat???? #518294

Hi David many thanks for taking the time to comment on " instinct" and thank you for the very kind comments, this was my first introduction to this particular Tigress and was taken from less than half a metre , she had shown no reaction to me until I lifted the camera and as you can see she seemed none to impressed at the time , however with all my close work with the big cats I never put myself or the cat in any situation that would become dangerous and expert keepers on hand at all times , it is a very humbling experience to get so close to one of natures most powerful and beautiful animals and will admit I have shed more than one tear on numerous occasions , many thanks David ,K-J #518402
