Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve. This tigress is named T17.

Look forward to your comments, especially about the composition.

The walking pose is nice. I liked the composition, the background gives a nice feel of the habitat. Its nice that it is walking towards you. Thanks for sharing.

I like the stride and the angle, mix between a head on and profile. The coat pattern blends nicely with the interplay of light and shadows all around. Any reason for central composition?

Roopak,
I created this image at 88mm. If I remember right, the idea was to include shadows. However, later I brightened the image a bit.

A crop of the image is included here.

Cheers,
