Tigris.

"The Bengal tiger or the Royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris tigris)"

^{Edit Jan. 31st '11.
~Svenimal corrected me, it's a Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae). I would've sworn the sign said Bengal}

It's been a while since I've submitted something, but I think this is worth it.

Taken in Burgers Zoo in Arnhem, the Netherlands. I was so damn close to the animal that I was basically face to face. Thank gosh there was glass. I'm pretty much amazed that there's no glass visible, since it was very dirty. It's taken with a 50mm 1.4 and people who've used those can probably imagine how close this beautiful animal was.

The weather was absolutely perfect which made the contrast really stand out in this picture. Thought about cropping it to square, but my heart and mind both said no. I didn't do much with this picture either, levels, curves, the basics, really..

Hope you like it! Glad to be back(ish)!
