Nice display of habitat. Wish its face was lighted. A higher shutter speed would have been good, maybe you could used a slight higher ISO. Was it hand held? Thanks for sharing.

Hi Mrudul,

Thank you.

I was on the back of an elephant when i took this, had it in manual focus.

I love this picture as i took it on Christmas eve morning, after 5 days of searching for a tiger, but equally I don't love this picture as in my excitement of after 5 years of trying i finally see a tiger, I lost my head and didn't raise the ISO for the darker setting.

No one would know unless you tell that you were atop an elephant.

BTW what software did you use to put across the water mark and still avoid the tiger's head?
