Update: I've decided to enter this into the club :iconanimalarts: contest "Chinese Zodiac: Year of the Tiger." ;P

The NEW title (read explanation below about the old one), is based off an "Atreyu" song. :love:
_______________________________________________

This photo USED to be titled "The Fight." I've decided to change it though, seeing as how it's not "worthy enough" to have such a title due to the lack of blood and gore. The explanation for this is below. The new title is above.

I'll clear this up, because my "wannabe pascifist" friend (just kidding dear, I love you ;) ) thinks that this photo doesn't deserve that title because it's not "gruesome enough" to be well deserving of a title with a name implying a "fight" scene.

Here's the explanation of this photo. As you can see, there's no actual gore to this photo which is quite obvious to any veiwer who has any type of sense at all.

The title itself is meant to imply an act, or a scene. Like a screen capture from a movie.

I'm guessing that if you go through most deviations on dA, you won't find many photos of tigers actually "going for the kill" such as my friend thinks that only a title like this should imply - and if you do, it won't have very many people supporting it, and actually, many people banning together, going against it and possibly reporting it to be taken down from deviantArt as it could be offensive to a lot of people and their religions and ways of life.

If you look closely, the orange female bengal was not irritated at all, and was simply sniffing the white female. The white female got a bit testy, but this lasted a whole of less than 30 seconds and then they went their own way. Just figured you all should know, so as I don't "confuse" or offend anyone.

This to me is simply a photo the represents what COULD have been, and what WASN'T. I've seen many photos that imply a fight scene with less of a meaning than I have for this, and with less implications than you will find with this photo. ;P
If you would like to know more, you can feel free to ask, but this is only my opinions for this photo and how I feel about it. =)

Thanks guys. :huggle:

Wow. I knew you were an awesome chick but your photography is to match!

The clarity of this photo is amazing, the fact its a ying/yang deal is amazing, And the pose. its very cute in a weird way haha

Your technique is well. Hard to say.... Original, inspiring. imaginative. Vicious yet playful.

The impact is eye catching, Your distance and the lighting, well... You chose a great day for this picture.

As for improvements, that is probably the hardest part to decide. I must say this is a pretty average angle for animals. but you have an original pose so i cant be too harsh on that point.

The background could be a little more out of focus to keep your attention more on the tigers But the contrast between the subjects are brilliant

Basically. well done. try a few different angles. and keep up the practice :)
What do you think?

Haha! Then we'd have to take photos by instinct, considering that the blow to the head didn't kill you or I! ;)

I'm so terribly sorry for the very delayed response to your comment! Life - ugh! It's an awful thing at times! :heart:
