Tigers of Ranthambhore (T 74-Sub-adult male)

[Rajbir Oberoi]

Its the tomorrow that is staring in your face!

The Sub-adult male yet to be named is one of the three litters of T-17 (Sundari) & T-28 ( Star). It currently enjoys company of its other 2 siblings, T-73 (Female) & T-75 (Male) in & around Kachida Chowki of Zone 5. When this was captured, it was on a look-out for its siblings & hence on an unstoppable walk in its territory with continuous call of Blue-Bull adding to the background score. With the genes it carries of a ferocious father & fighter mother. it is preparing for a fine future that awaits for the sub-adult.

Nice sighting of this young male. The raised paw looks nice. I would like a more wider composition showing more of its territory. Thanks for sharing.

Is this a crop? If not, then a wider composition would have been better as there is not much space in the direction the tiger is moving. Good images show the relationship of the animal with the habitat and often the ideal image has the subject somewhere between 1/3rd to 2/3rd the size of the overall image. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
