 Taken at the Toronto Zoo. I'm not sure if this will get a bunch of DNMC as it is more of a hope realized than representing hope.

The head in the background was a second tiger in a cave behind the first. Used selective levels and dodging to bring it out. I thought it looked like a spirit or a ghost (especially with the intense eyes) hence the title.

Love this! I love the colors of the tigers, and how you can see the texture of their fur, as well as the lines their stripes create.

I like how the tiger in the back looks like it has no neck. But this is a very cute shot.
