[Praveen Siddannavar]

I shot this image very early in the morning at about 6:15am, it was amazing to watch this beauty at a water hole first and later see her stalk on a Gaur (Indian bison). I had completed ignored this image, it was only my wife Shalini who told me that this is of one my best shots and that I should share with all my friends here on Indiawilds. So thanks to Shalini as well, else this would have gone unnoticed and would remain in my folder for ever.

Liked the head turn and the eye contact. Nice to see the tigress in its natural surroundings. What did it notice, some gypsy? Good that you didn't miss this one. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pic like the way it blends into the surroundings.... the coat colour seems much paler on the hind parts.
