Too close for comfort. This tiger from Tadoba was hardly 8ft away from our vehicle

Fantastic action shot! One of the best tiger close-ups I have yet seen. The coloration is superb!

The colour & exposure looks great.I'm sure must be nice details also be seen in larger version & wish the Tiger had given lil more eye contact.

nice action showing those big and nasty teeth. A little tight but nothing you can do about that!

Absolutely marvelous, the detail and light are great. Ok you have some clipping of the whiskers and a close shave on the ears, but these do not distract for me. I hope everybody in the vehicle kept still.

Really cool Kedar. The colors, sharpness and of course the aggressive expression make this a striking image. A real pity though that you clipped the whiskers.

Aside from the limiting factors, a splendid shot Kedar; I love the wonderful growl you've captured :^)
