Tigers are never late! they arrive in their own time and thats the right one! ( never apologise for being late- you are related to tigers!) Great image DJ, showing your feminine side too!

psychedelic shot, I like it! There's a sense of power and strength that lurks behind the fun / funky colors - so subtle yet so prominent.
