Wildlife Photography - Tigers
I like your tiger image .... very sharp. A couple of ideas (just my opinion) since you asked for them.
When photogrpahing captive animals it is difficult to make the image in such a way that the "captive" part is not so obvious. You've done a pretty good job. The orange thing in the background and the edge of the building on the right would be better off out of the image .... but I realize that you have to take what you can get.
I like the vertical element of your image, maybe just a bit wider and the tip of the tiger's tail would have made it.
For what it's worth ... I would take your image if it were mine .... it's not bad and I don't have any tigers in my collection! Looking forward to more of your posts!

Bob is one of PT's great wildlife shooters, so if he would be satisfied enough with this to take it as one of his own, you've done well.
Almost all my wildlife shots are captive as well, and I have to agree you did a good job of overcoming the difficulties you have to deal with at zoos and/or animal parks. Only once did I really get lucky with a shot of tigers at a zoo. I had an unobstructed view and they were practically posing for me! I need to find that shot...
