Your title says it all, it describes the look on his face perfectly. I like the direct eye contact and the intimidating expression. He really looks like is ready to pounce at any second.

Outstanding capture of Leeloo.
She is a 6 year old Sumatran tiger and she is a beauty!
Superb razor sharp focus, controlled white balance, excellent eye clarity and fine details.
Excellent work behind your lens

Hello Eileen
Good Initial impact. As soon as I opened this image the eyes on this kitty grabbed me. Good composition and very nice detail. This image is sharp and clear with nice natural colors.

I like the look on the cat's face and your title matches his expression exactly. I would love to pet him on his head but I think he is suggesting this would be a bad idea.

Your background is good and supports the subject very well.

Thank you for sharing this image with me today.

Roger

Eileen,
A wonderful picture of this Tiger giving you the warning eye as it relaxes in the Sunshine in it's enclosure in the Zoo. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Looks like a very sunny bright day for an outing. You have nicely framed the beautiful Tiger and got him giving you a nice clear stare. Just the right amount of background blur and sharp focus. Well done.

Oh Eileen what a great image here! (and just LOVE the way you've titled it btw)

Focus on this big boy is CRISP CRISP CRISP! Beautifully detailed...every whisker...every stripe...even the hair in his ears is shown well...lol Your colors are natural. It is well exposed and you timed it just right catching that wonderful expression.

Like the way you set it up as well w/ your Tiger taking up the right frame and rock balancing out left frame. Well done all the way around Eileen. He is stunning and you have presented him perfectly. EASILY gets one of my gold stars!

With a face like that looking at me I certainly would not dare! Like your full and central composition. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!
