Description

Hello all!! I watched these beautiful tigers brothers for some time they played fought, then licked each other and cuddled. I felt lucky to get this capture with a pocket cam as I didn’t have rapid shooting that day accessible and also had to get it as best I could from the 200 ft distance. I have seen them play times before, but never got them so into it and by the waterfall as I did this day! -------------------------------------------- I looked up the word "duel" for fun in the American heritage dictionary just now: The definition for Duel is: 1) A struggle for domination between two contending persons 2) To engage (another) in or as if in formal combat. 3) To oppose actively and forcefully. ------------------------------------------- Those three tiger’s brothers were defiantly all about that and here two are simultaneously slapping each other at the same time!!!... The one was happy just to observe as he seemed more passive... I did some hand painting, softening and smudging and saturated it a tad to make it pop a bit more today and thought I would share this with you today ....( I also have pictures of them licking each other after as if to say I am sorry I hurt you after.) These tiger brothers are around 10-11 months now I was told. I can never get tired of watching them interact they mesmerize me. Thank you for your time and comments! (I can try and get caught up now with comments as my recent wedding shoot - all 2000 shots are FIANLLY all completely post worked -whew!) Love to you all!! ((( BIG HUGS ))) ~ Kimmers! ♥ !! :O)
