I'm new to TIGER shooting all I'd think I'd know about it is to use the longest lens you could afford. And speed might also be good making for a huge lens. Big bucks. I'm not equipped. Here my hit on it is he's got a hump shape going on on his back and a tree growing out of it. Two reasons to go with another shot. Something to be said for having the tree's sharp in the background but something also to be said for shooting them wide open and having the tree's become mush. I'd think they'd be schools for both approaches in the wildlife photo kingdom. I'd think the trick would be to shoot very many shots to make sure you have something to choose like really bang away as all they have to do is shift their weight and its a different shot which I think is going on here. That's the way it looks to me. And I've extensively photographed Calico's so I know. My kitty her name was Slides in the high grass those butterflies were in deep trouble. She stalked them. They were her prey. She was the queen of the neighborhood ask anybody. It was with her that I first appreciated the feline world. She was my window. Before her I was totally a doggy guy. Though all animals small or large or on the top of my list. Say a bad thing about a raccoon and you are out of my rolodex. I will probably put it in my will to leave my Leica and Hassy glass to the zoo. So all the animals can play with them.
