New Male Tiger/Bandipur - "Ram" Series#1

[Praveen Siddannavar]

This is the new male tiger named "Ram" (by JLR folks) was sighted by us on 20th Aug'10 (Friday) @7am near Moolapura water hole, Bandipur. I understand he had made a kill and was cooling off in a muddle. I believe this guy is just about 3 years but he looks much bigger. I have shot some natural historic behavioral images that will share in this series, keep watching...

Seems he just turned to see you :). Nice composition. The details are good. Lot of flies, looks like he just ate. Nicely captured. Look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.

I would have preferred a more conventional composition rather than the square one here. Crop from the bottom (the out of focus areas and a bit more) and top and more space at the left would have been even better. Good that you managed to see a new tiger.

Cheers,

Nice eye contact. I agree about the crop. Thanks for sharing.

Beauty of an image!The tiger looks relaxed and I like the out of focus grass.Good work.
