 Sumatran tiger at the SF zoo. i have a bad feeling this is totally gonna bomb, but w/e, I need to enter something sice I'm in the marathon. The face is just a tiny tiny tiny bit too shakey. I was following the tiger by hand in relly low light and I know it isn't perfect but it'll have to do. Score prediction at high: 5.1

Would have been a great image – but believe there is too much blur.

Given that the tiger is walking directly towards and facing the photographer, I find the apparent motion blur confusing.

Very nice. I like the way it's sharp and clear on the face, and everything else is moving :) God catch :)

A little more depth of field and a slightly higher shutter speed would have served you well in this shot. Nicely composed though.

Were you really this close to this tiger? Was this at the SF Zoo? In any case... if you're not doing a show in Vegas, I don't think you should be this close to these fellas.

I think this would be better if more was in focus

The blurriness doesn't add to the photo.

For me, the face is too sharp for the rest of the image.A bit too much post-processing for my personal taste. In some ways, it looks like the clear face was pasted onto a blurred photo.

If I was that close I'd suffer from camera shake, too.
