Lovely image Atul, look at its eyes amazing stuff. It looks like a huge male. Some more space at the top would have been nice.

what is the best time to visit Tadoba and how far is this from Nagpur? It will be nice if you can provide more details, i am assuming you live closer to Tadoba.

I would have included less water at the bottom as there isnt any reflection and it isnt as interesting. I might have considered including more space up top as Praveen Pointed out. Is this a big crop?

Pravin,
Tadoba -Andhari Tiger Reserve is 170 km from Nagpur towards south, and only 25 km from Chandrapur city where I live. Chandrapur is a railway station on Delhi-Chennai route.I am studing tigers and wildlife of Tadoba for last 20 years and its like my next home. By the way this is a Tigress and of very huge sized.

Praveen,
It is tough to go to Tadoba due to the connectivity issue. One needs to take a flight to Bombay and then to Nagpur or via Pune or Goa. For a short time there was a direct flight from Bangalore to Nagpur. If slight delay, then you miss the evening safari. Once the connecting flight was cancelled and I reached chandrapur by mid night. :D I have never taken a train from bangalore but from chennai the time taken is nearly same by train. These days I prefer the train as with your data card you can have internet connectivity most of the time.
