Hilarious !!! What an expression !! Absolutely priceless !
The perfect capture !
I'm really surprised to see that this was taken with such a slow shutter speed and still have the definition it does. Hey, whatever works :)
Congratulations on your many, well deserved awards, likes and comments.
I'm so glad you have this image to remind you of your beloved Tiger.

What a dilemma! The kitty wants a drink of water but hates being sprayed with water. Wonderful expression! Wonderful capture!

Location
I took this photo just outside my home on my driveway.Time
It taken mid afternoon around 2ish on a hot June day.Lighting
The lighting was all natural for this photo.Equipment
I used my Canon EOS REBEL T2i and my 55mm lens to take this photo.Inspiration
I was inspired to take this photo by my cat Tiger. It was hilarious to watch him drink from the hose that day, he really couldn't get enough water. Unfortunately for us we didn't realize that Tiger was very sick and he past away 3 months later. Tiger was old and had a great life with us and he was our beloved pet. I will always treasure these photos of him drinking from the hose that day. I am so happy to be able to share this photo and have our Tiger immortalized! I am thrilled that this photo of Tiger has been selected as the winner of Character Cats Photo Challenge ….I sincerely thank you!Editing
Yes, I did some tweaking in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. First I always like to straighten and crop my photos. Typically if I have taken a decent shot with the camera I will usually adjust the highlights, shadows, whites, blacks and clarity if need be. Then I adjust the sharpening and noise reduction. I pretty much do this for every photo I take to some degree.In my camera bag
I typically carry 3 cameras in my bag. A Canon EOS REBEL T3i, Canon EOS REBEL T2i and my Waterproof Canon Powershot D20 cameras. I also have 3 lens I carry, an 18 mm, a 55 mm, and 250 mm lens. I also have my Canon Speedlite 430EX II. I always carry a minimum of 4 fully charged batteries for either the cameras or for the flash and I also have a battery charger with me just in case. I carry a polarizing filter, a little water spray bottle, lens cleaners and a remote for the cameras. It would be nice to travel a little lighter, but I do want to try and be prepared, just in case that photo opportunity does present itself. Mind you, I do realize I need to start bringing my tripod out with me more.Feedback
My advice is just to be observant and always have a camera close at hand, you just never know when that Kodak moment will present itself. Most of all I just recommend that you just have fun with your camera and your surroundings!
