Fiercely adorable

Look at his near hand, he has a remote trigger in it. It would not only be danger, but stupid, to have both hands occupied while that close to a tiger, even a cub.

Are you able to verify if it’s a remote? Either way you can tell it’s fake by the angles, the paws would be much higher if that camera took the picture

Yeah, sure, let me just get my magnifying glass out and magically shift the angle so we can get a clear shot of his hand. I said it a remote because it looks just like what my photography teacher used to use when taking candids.
And I was referring specifically to the first photo, the one of the cub looks obviously fake, the face is morphed, as is the mouth and hind paws.

I’m not saying the first photo is fake, just that the guy standing there didn’t take a picture in this moment

Look at the hind paws in the second picture. It's not even good photoshop.

You can see the where the face is composited, the nose and center part of the upper mouth up to the forehead them just blurred around the edges.

Not to mention the cub’s magical lack of shadow...
