 Baby tiger at the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo with a rented 70-200mm VR. All PP was done left-handed after breaking my right hand 2 weeks ago. I'm going crazy not being able to use my camera. At least I'm coordinated enough with my left to use Photoshop...sorta.

- Crop
- Fair amount of dodging & burning
- Sharpen
- Gaussian blur around 30% opacity

POW! What nice orange. A little stronger would probably look unreal, but I think you nailed just the right amount.

Cute! Colors look a bit oversaturated on my monitor.

cute kitty, I like his expression and the little bits of grass to help him show his size.

Very cute. Nice detail on the front of the face. I'm just not a fan of the processing, it looks a little overdone.

A young'un, yes? The pattern on its face almost seems to vibrate! Lovely detail and color; well composed.

What an adorable capture, but seems a little oversaturated to me.

Aww, a baby tiger! Very cute; nice detail and shallow DOF is nice for a baby.

very cute shot, however the eyes and some other spots are coming across a little bit grainy for my preference for this kind of shot
