Artist's Comments

TIGER, tiger, burning bright
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
On what wings dare he aspire?
What the hand dare seize the fire?
~William Blake


You will likely notice a ghosting, that would be the cage wires that I did my best to blur out with my camera and I'm sure I could have removed completely via photoshop but that's just not my style. The ghosting has actually sort of grown on me ;)

Taken at the Toronto Zoo.

Man, I wish I could take pictures that well...
Anywho, the ghosting works really well with the poem; it gives it that elusive feeling. ^^
Awww... just want to hug them!! Tiger love!! :giggle:

Take this to sleep with you,/My tale of dusty far-off times,
When warrior hearts were true./ Then store it in your memory,
And be the sage who says,/ To young ones in the years to come,
"Ah yes, those were the days." Mariel of Redwall

Lovely! The ghosting looks like the mists of the rainforest! Leaving it was a good thing! :)

Beautiful. This feels like an emotive portrait to me. The tiger's stare is so intense... Maybe there should be a category for animal emotive portraiture... *contrives possible shots*

Living a life is the way of lying to yourself that death shall not come. But before dying you have a whole life to live!
