Lovely capture. The foreground and background landscape with dappled coat, sunrise-orange colour with bat-black stripes full of lumpy muscle with swishing of the tail gives the image a nice feel. Thanks for sharing

Nice to see it in action. The flying water droplets look nice. I liked the wider composition showing the full picture of the tiger chasing through the water with the water birds around. I think the tiger moved and so the face is not sharp. Is this a full frame? Who was it chasing? Thanks for sharing.

Second part, after stalking, of Tiger's attack methodology in peninsular India or open grassland. The beauty of heavily muscled shoulders and upper part of forelegs in this action photograph is a treat to watch. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Thanks all for appreciating the image:-) No, it not a full frame image, I have cropped the image from right for a slight off centre composition..It was a mock chase, a herd of Sambar deer was quite far away..However, couple of gallop of the king was more than enough to create chaos among all & scare away half the jungle:D

Interesting to see this. The snake bird knows that the tiger is not chasing in its direction and is cool. Guess the tiger was far off. I would love a wider composition. However, the challenge with wider compositions is that the camera often doesn't resolve all details. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
