Congratulations Imtiaz Bhai for your first photogaph for us.Nice image of the young tigress,the first time mother.Nice composition showing the the refuse/shelter and delicate positioning of the paws.She has come out of the cave with all the worries of a dedicated inexperienced mother leaving her cubs, may be for quenching thirst or for probing the sorroundings as she has heard some unusual sound or for hunting. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
P.S:What was the time when the photograph was taken?How many cubs in the first litter?

Hello Imtiaz,

Nice to see you on Indiawilds.

I like the setting. This I believe is a popular palce to sight tigers in bandhavgarh (?). If the tigress was looking towards you, the impact would have been altogether different, but this is nice as well :)
