 Tiger jumping up a pole to get a huge chunk of tasty horse meat. Expecting people to not like the fence in the background but I couldn't find a way to get rid of it without sacrificing things I liked.

Not using anything expert editing-ish (or the 720 file size for that matter since vertical 720s are too big).

Lightroom: RAW, crop, rotate, curves
PSE5: USM for contrast, dodge/burn, resize, sharpen, SFW

Hi David,
A close-up head shot would have been awsome here with the flighing meat, the pinned ears and the meat hanging from the mouth. I have done this same thing countless times trying to capture the beauty of the entire animal when a head shot would have been better.

nice kitty....given the title, closer capture of the face and teeth would have had more impact, although those back claws are pretty impressive

Great snapshot, but that is what it feels like. I think a tight crop of the tigers head, chomping the meat off would have been more exciting.
