alert repose !!!

[Dipankar Mazumdar]

Dear All,

Prequel to the roadblock series from the afternoon safari in the A-C route in the bandhavgarh national Park.

The tigress kept its eyes shut while lying down in this shady spot, only the twitching ears giving away its alertness. Soon enough she deemed us to be of some interest and kept a steady eye on us before sitting up, scratching an itchy ear and walking away into the thicket.

EOS 50D + 300f4 @ f8, 1/200, ISO 400

Look forward to comments

Cheers

Beautiful pose captured. I liked the eye contact and the alert look. Good details and sharpness. It would be a amazing feeling to see a tigress peacefully lying in the middle of the road :). The pano composition looks nice. Did you try any other wider composition? Thanks for sharing.

I like the alert pose. The f8 aperture has helped here. The hairs on the legs and body has come out well. It would have been fantastic if the road would have been elevated at this point, so that you would have got a lower angle. Wishful thinking. Overall, this is a nice image. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Wow! Lovely image Dipankar, nice to have such road blocks. The details have come out well here, the eye contact and alert ears add interest. This is one of the best from road block series.
