Tigress with cubs
Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve,
Chandrapur, Maharashtra

This was a fantastic sighting of four, three and half months old cubs with their very careing mother. This cub will secure the future of Tadoba's tiger.
Shot this photograph on 12th March with IndiaWilds participant Vikram Ghupchup.

Lovely. I like the eye contact and the low angle. The sighting of small cubs makes this special. I wish the dead stick were not there in front of the cubs. Is this a cement waterhole? Overall looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Beautiful moment captured. The eye contact and the pose is lovely. A bit more space around would enhance the photograph further. Look forward to more.

Nice to see this here!

Nice intimate image. Wish the tree up front were absent. The horizon is tilted so the water might just spill ;)
Thanks for sharing.
