Lovely Sighting Mr.Vagale, I am glad you finally managed to get tiger shots:). The eye contact is nice, the OOF twigs are a bit distracting but that is what wildlife photography is all about. It surely gives a natural feel of the tiger habitat. The details on the face area have come out well.
Look forward to more from your trip.

Lovely sighting. Nice eye contact. Agree with Praveen about the out of focus twigs, maybe moving a bit more to the left (if possible) would have helped. It is quite difficult to get a good clear position in Bandhavgarh, were there lot of gyspy's? Look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice sighting. I like the eye contact. Unfortunately the left eye is hidden behind a bamboo. It is not always easy to get the face in the clear. It is good that atleast you could get one eye without any obstruction. I find the colour a bit more orange. Tweaking the white balance while processing will be fine. A vertical composition with a 1.4x TC attached would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Nice close-up. Agree about OOF twigs adding a natural feel to this image. Did you also a have a shorter zoom lens with which you shot some images?
