Description
This shot took a hell of a lot of work to save but I think it was worth it. Poor, diminishing light and intrusive mesh fencing almost beat me!Siberian tigers, mother and cub.
Note: A heartfelt THANK YOU! to everyone who has added this piece to their favorites. I'm overwhelmed by all the feedback and wish I could personally thank each and every one of you!

She looks perturbed. Like something spooked her.

Wow, great job salvaging it! It was well worth your effort, I think, even just from the DD and all the faves piling up. But as a piece of art I think it was definitely worth fixing up, and you did it spectacularly. The light looks perfectly intentional, and I don't see any trace of fencing across the tigers. Plus you had great timing - there was definitely a legitimate shot behind the fence and difficult light.

These animals are so beautiful. It is hard to believe, and painful to believe they may become extinct.

Lovely shot. I wonder if it would look better at a slightly lower exposure though.

Lower? I spent ages trying to lift it up a little!

Well, don't think too much of it because I find that pictures on DA look WAY different than ones in real life. I like the softness of the white light is nice and looks cute but it kinda makes the colors look a little less crisp and tigers are such gorgeous, rich orange animals.
^^ I dunno. It's a marvolous shot regardless.

makes me sad that people still hunt these beautiful creatures for their fur... they are still endangered and are slipping away to extinction...

Wow. This picture is so sweet and so full of feeling! You've captured the protective nature of the mother and the sweet, innocent mischief of the cub. Little cutie. He's sticking his tongue out.
Really great job! This was well worth the DD!
