Talk about the definition of magnificent! I love the bottom-up view on cats - makes them look very magestic. Great work, Sally.

Sally,
Nice Kitty... As far, as your question goes, you couldn't have chose a better DOF... But I don't believe you used a f/5.6 on this 1... Looks more like f/1.8... Perhaps a different lens?
Well done indeed,
Marty

Hi Sally,
it's all a focus thing ;-) If you partly close your eyes you won't see the fence as well.
wonderful closeup catch - I would like to send out my hand to the tiger. great colors.
best wishes,
Thilo

This is a very good shot, Sally, and I'm glad that you asked the question that you did. I've wondered the same thing. It looks like you got lots of good answers!
Thanks for your comment...much appreciated!

What a nice prince, Sally. So serious and majestic. I like the blurred trees in the background, a kind of counterpoint to the zigzags of the patterns of his fur. Best, György
PS: Thanks for your comment on the Moon picture, I am going to give further tried with various speeds.

nice shot. I have a lot of photos like this, where there was a net. But with the zoom lens it takes it away. I have a photo of a wolf like that.

A superb shot of this magnificent animal, Sally!
Further to Den's helpful reply, if you'd taken it with a compact, as opposed to an SLR, you'd almost certainly have seen the netting!!
Best regards, Chris

Great Shot Sally, I won't go into detail of why the fence was blurred as that has already been ansewered.
I Love the expression The Tiger has..l..its almost as if....Boy are you lucky there is a fence between us...or else its lunch time.
Well shot...The Details are Fantastic!

Hi Brian - the shutter was a little faster - at 1/320 - but they don't list it.
They reckon that as long as the speed is quicker than the length of the lens - it's hand holdable - so I left it on 1/320 all day - so I didn't have to piddle about too much :)

This is wonderful. The tiger has an expression that shows that he is better and bigger than you.. Great picture Sally. Don.

Thanks for the answer Den - it still amazes me that you can't see any fence on the tiger - and yet I can still see the pattern of it amoungst the leaves in the background.

Sally this a really great capture, and I see Den [my partner] has already answered your question. I recently put up an owl shot which was taken through netting where I got near enough to eliminate the lines. I also tried to get a shot of a bird which kept walking up to the other end of the cage. I lean't so far forward I fell and landed head first into a bed of nettles. [I saved the camera :)] Will attach the shot I got, which shows how I 'nearly made it'

Ah, the magic of photography: the camera never lies, huh? I suppose that as the netting blurs more and more due to the DOF, it becomes in effect a thin veil over the image that you cannot see.
He looks kind of stuffed (as in "cuddly toy" rather than "with food") and has a very superior expression. The tiger colours stand out very nicely against the background.

Sally, what a fabulous shot of this tiger. Beautifully exposed and composed althogh you did have much say in the pose.
To answer your question. The result is caused by DOF. The fence would have been close enough to have been thrown out of focus sufficiently for it not to be noticeable. DOF works both in front and behind the point of focus. Hope this helps. I have a shot of a tiger in my porfolio taken with the same lense as you and have obtained the same result.
Regards
Den
