I completely failed to awaken this tiger. But I'd be lying if I said I did my best.  ;D

Ha! ha! But this is a real tiger and no photoshopping transpositions other than contrast, brightness and cropping adjustments.

Come on, Ray, we all know it's just a trick of perspective: a very wide lens, a pussycat... right?

24mm lens on the D700. I deliberately set the camera at F11 and ISO 400 to reduce the risk of misfocussing and too slow a shutter speed, which might result from an inexperienced person using the camera.

Of course they are pussy cats - with stripes.  ;D

They'd have no problem in a dentist's chair.  ;D
