Thanks Jack.Tigers are really tough to photograph!
...very skittish!
Early morning is best, when they are still a little sluggish.
And watch out for that glare off their metallic backs. You have to block the sun with your shadow and shoot quickly before they scurry back into a sunny spot.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
