Praveen,

Your zeal and enthusiasm is remarkable. Keep going.

Please also try to capture threats too. cattle grazing inside sanctuaries & RFs, snares that are laid, littering, new constructions, tourists lobbying etc can be of immense help during documentation and while addressing issues.

Of course, one has to be very careful while capturing these images - more cautious than even approaching an elephant in musth :blink:

Great Image. Praveen, you are Sachin Tendulker :-) in this forum. I have enjoyed all your photos (specially Tiger photos) and thank you for your postings.:thumbup:

Congrats on 700th post. A wonderful photograph to celebrate it :).

You captured a perfect moment. I liked the composition. The whiskers and the canines are captivating. Surely this trip has been an excellent one for you. Great going. Look forward to more.

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Lakshminarayanan will surely keep your advise in mind and also share those images that will help us discuss threats & actions to protect our forests.

Praveen,
Congratulations!

700 posts is no mean achievement. You seem to be maturing like old wine. ;-)

Nice way to celebrate with an image of perhaps God's most beautiful creation. Lovely sight. The yawn shows how relaxed it is. I always prefer an image of a tiger yawning over that of a tiger snarling. The whiskers have come out well. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Congrats Praveen on hitting 700 so fast. The journey has been fantastic. :)
Old wine is the apt phrase as used by Sabyasachi.
I like the composition. The whiskers have come out nicely too. There seems to be some detail loss in the body. Did you run a strong noise reduction on it?

[Tiger Ramesh]

Very nice shot. Superb. Congrats on your 700th post. TFS.
