After the tiger saw the sadhu she quickly ran and hid in the bushes on our left and that is how we could provide cover to sadhu by moving our gypsy forward.
Now coming back to the image posted, I need advice to understand in a situation where a tiger is in bushes is it advisabe to shot using manual focus mode? I was really struggling to shot this image hence did not post them earlier. I used Av and auto focus, I am posting the image as is with some adjustments in levels, no crop- Its a Full Frame
Camera Model Canon EOS 40D, 100-400mm
Tv( Shutter Speed ) 1/125
Av( Aperture Value ) 7.1
ISO 500
Focal length 400mm
Full Frame & Hand held
