Tiger Cub/Bandipur

[Praveen Siddannavar]

The cub was resting in the bushes across a water hole and after a while she took a short nap. With no disturbance & absolute silence she had a good nap while we watched it from a distance. It was only our jeep that was present at this location, so the cub too wasn't disturbed and later it was amazing to watch her roll over, yawn and various other behaviors.

This tiger seems to be coming of "age".Its cub like innocence is slowly disappering and becoming one adult tiger ready to take on the world.....Good picture.

Nice head turn. Seems it just saw your jeep and turned to look who was it :). I think you posted a similar image earlier. Why - 0.3 step EC? Thanks for sharing.

Nice head turn. The vertical composition is good too. Agree a negative EC wasn't needed here.
