Here's the same tiger n same location, I shot with mobile phone, believe me, I didn't know how to zoom mobile camera. frown

Here's the picture with my DSLR, as my friends wanted to see it. I'll post the wider view later.
This was the exclusive shoot of this tiger for more than an hour, I mean, ours was the only vehicle there.
Thank you so much for your views n comments!

Jagdeep: love the contrast of the tiger's color vs. the color of the water in the pool. The open mouth and the direct look at you are very appealing. My only nit would be to have shot so that the oof rocks in the near foreground were sharp. Written by someone who tends to do the same thing. enlightened

Fantastic capture. Great expression on the tiger and an awesome scene to go with it. The water colors sets up the tiger very well and low angle provides an unique perspective. I like your choice of vertical comp too. devil

Gorgeous Jagdeep. Those orange and green colors really contrast and compliment each other. What an amazing encounter.

Thanks friends!

Richard: I prefer to have a OOF foreground in my pictures, it adds depth to the image.

Ken & Lon: Looks can be deceptive eh. The tiger, who looks to be happy was slapped very hard by the female during courtship, just couple of days before. He had an injury on the right cheek (not visible in the frame), as a result, some green fluids were coming out of the nose.

I happened to spot this tiger from the top of hill and he was moving in the direction of this water hole. This clue heplped me getting this exclusive sighting. laugh
