Norma and Alexis, two tigeresses at the Bronx Zoo, NYC, play tug-of-war with deer hide that has been tied onto a tire by the animal trainer. Norma tugged so hard on the hide that it came off the tire.

Great action and color! DOF is also used very well. Too sad that the bush disturbs at the lower left.
You should have been way closer: the two kitties look very friendly, don't they? Good luck.
Great action shot with super clarity. A bit worried (for you)about how you managed to get this shot..with no obvious protection...........a moat and telescopic lens ?
Woah! Is this at a zoo... and was whatever is in the tigers mouths just fresh dead? if so AMAZING shot... I would have cropped this more into a panorama kind of... or a much skinnier vertical... and really tried to get rid of the distracting surroundings.
This would have done great in the Action challenge also. Beautiful shot with nice colors and clarity. I might have tried reducing the brightness on the right side, but it might have ruined the lighting on the left.
I just have to keep coming back to look at this shot. It is so incredible that it's hard to believe. This would have been amazing for the action challenge, wouldn't it?? Terrific shot, what more can I say?
Good action capture. Is the left one tearing up a real animal (not that I mind)? Pretty wild stuff. :)
Good job on the exposure given the snowy white conditions. Great colors, good use of shallow dof. 8
Wow. Great capture. The only thing that distracts is the branches in the front. I know there probably isn't much you could have done about that, so I won't let it affect my scoring. 8
Great action capture but the brambles in the left FG are mildly distracting. Must have been exciting to see them playing in the snow. Good job stopping the action with the snow aloft and the paw batting at the ground.
