Here is your Watery Wednesday image.
We continue the Tiger Theme this week with another one of Mr Kepala. To get the action shots of the tigers, the Zoo keepers feed the tigers by tossing whole chickens over the glass and into the pond. It was amazing to see the speed of them as they jumped into the water to get the chickens. It is very unusual for tigers to put there complete head under the water, but they did so on the occasion. However two of the chickens were in the deep part of the pond and the tigers could not get them. The image above shows you Kelapa after trying to get them but failed.
I will post one more image for Thursday and then we will be back to normal b&w landscape for Skywatch Friday.
What a great picture. I love these b&w photos of the tiger. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is a powerful shot of a powerful cat! He looks a bit disappointed, missing his chicken!
ReplyDeleteMr. Kepala is beautiful. Very striking coat and excellent shots.
ReplyDeletehe seems a bit upset and angry
ReplyDeletewould not like to meet one of them face to face but gorgeous to look at from a distance
Great shot capturing his mood
That's one grumpy-looking tiger! Great shot!
ReplyDeleteWow, this image is amazing. Simply breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteNice kitty! This works very well in B&W - a whole new look for the tiger.
ReplyDeleteWOW.. It's just "magnifique"
ReplyDeleteKepala looks rather venerable and was giving you a rather dog-like look. It is possible that the question of tigers aversion to water is rather overplayed. It would not do to leap into a lake to escape one.
ReplyDeleteExcellent capture of mr Kepala !!
ReplyDeleteLove the way the B&W really brings out the markings on his coat. magnificent animal !
this is amazing view of a tiger. looks like he's angry.
ReplyDeleteOH, poor Kelapa! The tiger must have been very frustrated. Very nice photo!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you can stay and get such amazing shots of these big cats. Tigers are absolutely awesome creatures and I love that you post in monochrome. Somehow the contrasts in the fur markings come out even better than in colour.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! Funny to see a cat in water...
