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!

Stunningly beautiful... My favorite species is the lion, but tigers are quite close as well!
Thank you for the shot. I'd love to do what you do some day :]

I can practically hear the mother snarling at the buggy, and the little cub with his tongue out, too sweet. Amazing contrast of the innocent curiosity of youth and the more cynical, wary nature of experience.
