This is Satri, one of three Sumatran Tiger cubs at Perth zoo. He is a year old and very shy. In order to get to his dinner he had to go through a tunnel close to the glass and did not like being under observation and having his picture taken.

Hi from the Critique Club,
You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.
Excellent shot!!!!!!!!!!!
There is not a lot to say about this shot as it is really good. A little more focus on the eyes ,,maybe, a tiny bit more saturation to bring out those oranges. Bar that excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see what you could do with this shot in advanced editing!
Well done on a great shot and an excellent placement |

| Great facial expression - pity this is 'Basic Editing' as this could have been even stronger with extra pp work. |

| Please tell me that you were using a long lens! It is a shame that fern is there. I would have given you full marks if the eyes were 100% sharp, the focus point appears to be on the bridge of the nose. |
