Nice close-up. The details have come nicely. Seems the upper left tooth is slightly broken. Look forward to more..

Nice yawn captured at full stretch. Did you click it from an elephant back? I am surprised that the details in the neck and below is very less. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Lovely action captured Atul, the Yawn is no less than the roar:)

Nice image. There is some noise in the background. Is the lower jaw blurred due to it being out of focus or due to motion?

Nice image.

The armoury of tiger is well exposed.

4 canines for holding and bringing down prey, incisors for tearing the carcass open and molars for grinding...

The teeth of canids are more whiter and attractive whereas the teeth of felines is more yellower --- is this because canids prefer bones rich in calcium or are there anymore reasons ??
