Tiger @ Ranthambhore

The tiger was walking away from a water hole in Ranthambhore Tiger reserve in India. It paused for moment, looked at the tourists and went in to the jungle.

Wow! He certainly looks like one large cat :^. Must have been a great experience seeing it in the wild like this, an opportunity I'd love to have one of these days :^)

Thanks for sharing Kedar :^)

This seems plenty close! It is a nice view of the tiger with good pose. My only wish for this kind of documentary capture would be for the man's head to not "touch" the tiger's foot. Did you manage to achieve a perspective for some additional shots of just the tiger in habitat with that nice warm light in the background?

Right Lon, the tiger foot touching the head is what could have been avoidable. but didn't get a chance to do so

I enjoy the pespective of this image. The close proximity to the tourists and their open car have me wondering what the tiger is thinking about.
