Hey wait a second! I’m not prey!

This was scariest I’ve ever felt while taking a picture. We were at an open safari. We parked the car just beside the road to take some pictures of the Tiger snacking.  Well, it saw us, and stared at us… and headed slowly toward us.  The park ranger honked his jeep and drove towards our car, driving the Tiger away. 

This picture was taken at 55mm focal length, so you can imagine how close the Tiger was.  It was the end of our drive through the open zoo… I drove right out of there pretty quickly.
