Removing a foreground fence... (Another Thread on The LSU Fighting Tigers!!!)

[theantiquetiger]

I went on campus today because it was cloudy and that usually means Mike (the tiger's name) wouldn't be sleeping. Luckily he was up and about, but try shooting a rapidly moving tiger was TOUGH!!!

This is what I ended up with. The fence had to go (there are two fences, the one you see, about 8 feet from me, and the dark spots, just in front of the camera)

Good job. Having a long lens to zoom in further to begin with would have eliminated much of the fench issue in camera.

Actually I was using my 70-300 lens for the first 1,000,000 tries, but just could not get a good shot because of somp or sharpness, so I swapped to my 50mm f/1.8 and this was my first show using it on the tiger. I do have one good shot with my 300, I just did PP on this one firstbecause I like the rocks, etc.

Here is thre other image I grabbed with my 70-300
