It is yawning to get up and leave. It is always nice to watch the unhurried movements of a tiger. Most of the times I remember reading that you have used 365 mm focal length out of the 400mm available and then cropped. Wonder why not use the full focal length.

He was yawning because he was sleepy and the jungle crows were making so much noise and not letting him sleep, i could have used 400mm but my gypsy was placed in a such a way that i had no option but to shoot him with the 2 branches in the foreground, had those branches not been there would have gone full focal length.

You got it nicely through the two trees. Seems it was resting near to some water hole. Good details. Thanks for sharing.
