Location
I took this portrait on a trip to Marwell zoological park in the uk.Time
The shot was taken just as the park was closing around 5pm. It was one of a number of shots I grabbed before leaving.Lighting
Taken in natural late afternoon light.Equipment
Canon EOS 5d mk3, Canon 200-400L lens and manfrotto monopod.Inspiration
The park had successfully bred their tigers and had a litter of 3 Cubs. I spent probably 10-12 hour on my days off watching the Cubs to get the right shot.Editing
Simple post was done in Lightroom.In my camera bag

You must spend the time to watch your subject before picking up the camera. You can learn their habits and favourite places as well as the light conditions at various times of the day to plan your shots ahead of time. That way hopefully you'll get the shot you want first time.
