Sumatran Tiger @ DC Zoo 12/31/2005
(Updated)
This is one of the three Sumatran Tiger Brothers at the National Zoo
that I have photographed so much (15 visits in 2 1/2 months). The
brothers are now in Denver at this place. The parents, Soy and Rokan, are still in DC at the Zoo and might have cubs this year if things
go well.

Aw thanks bocavermelha! Happy New Year to you too ;)
Neat image ( www.neatimage.com/ ) can be used to get some of the digital noise out of a photo without loosing too much detail. Sometimes my D70s seems to get noisy, even at low ISO...

The Lion may be king but no Cat has that majestic/regal look quite like the Tiger. Beautiful shot.
