Prey On Me. - a photo on Flickriver

Prey On Me.

            Talk about a story behind a photo, here goes:

Zoos contain cages which contain animals. These cages are made of bricks and bolted bars. This setup is the natural enemy of photographers unless.....you're daring. See this tiger was pacing his enclosure for almost an hour, quite aimlessly or so it seemed. I waited till I was leaving the zoo to check on him and see if he settled but nope, still pacing. I said what the hell and timed him on his turn in my direction, put the camera up to the wired fence and snapped. Three seconds later ( if so much, honestly ) he was up on hind legs pressing against the fence and snapping at my fingers. I jumped back quick as hell and busted my ass. The shot was great but I was jumpy the whole walk home. Hell I nearly lost some fingers for this photography crap lol :P
