"In the eye of the tiger"
In 2021 I was lucky to shot this beautiful siberian tiger at the Zoo Hellabrunn in Munich/Germany. With the Canon 5D Mark III and the Canon 100-400 L I was waiting for him. And suddenly he went directly towards me. The low evening sun touched parts of his face and body for a few seconds - for me a perfect moment.

Camera settings: Canon 5D Mark III with Canon EF 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L: 400mm f5,6 1/500 ISO 2000

Postproduction: Push up the contrast and the brightness. Some vignetting to put the focus a little bit more on the tiger
