Tiger country!

[Saajan Jogia]

Ok, So after photographing most mammals, I was eager to experience my first Tiger moment. My luck remained inactive in Kabini and Bandipur but after hearing and seeing tempting 'Tadobian stories', I paid a visit this monsoon and this is what the forest treated me with. Seen here is one of the four Telia cubs, ready to take on life all by her own in a few months. She stayed in the grass for sometime after which she was seen moving around, as if she was distracted.
I always wished to have a green background during my first Tiger moment unlike the dry habitat in summers, thanks to the rains for that.
My friends and I observed her for fifteen minutes, followed by the exiting orders being given by the guide to the driver.
It was special :)

Lovely scene. Less of the FG and more of the trees/ bushes in the BG with the tiger in an offcentered position will also look nice.

'Look forward' is the message conveyed by the young tigress. Imposing walking pose through green habitat after rains captured.

Congratulations on your first tiger sighting. It is always a memorable event and this will remain in your memory for a long long time. It is certainly nice to see the tiger in green surroundings.
