I like the eye contact. Some more space all around would have been nice. Unfortunately, the waterhole is cemented and takes away the feeling of wildeness.

Tree felling is rampant in the buffer area. I even saw people gathering firewood from the core area. It is common knowledge that with loss of tree cover, there would be less of rains. If the core issues are not tackled, then more such concretization is going to take place inside the forest.

Cheers,

Nice pose and eye contact. Zooming out a bit more for some more space would haev enhanced the composition further.

I agree with Sabyasachi, the jungles are becoming more and more unnatural, with cemented water holes and collared tigers.

The eye contact is nice. I would have liked more space around. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely sighting, agree with sabyasachi about the the artifical water hole. I have noticed even at Tadoba that there are plenty of artifical water holes. Fortunately in Bandipur/Kabini there are lot of natural large water bodies.
