The sleeping beauty..Prince of Bandipur.

We spent almost more than one hrs with the nice tiger..Was sleeping nicely...A Canon 600D click,Tamron 150-600mm,1/60,ISO200,f6.3,on 150..hand held..

The image conveys message of peace and serenity unlimited. Well taken.

I was remembering E.P.Gee, Salim Ali, M.Krishnan, Fateh Singh Rathore, Billy Arjan Singh, H.S.Panwar and .........; but for their vision none of us would have seen this image at this time.

Wow, if there is a paradise, it is this. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely sight of a tiger resting in a large waterhole. Though photographers love the sight of a tiger angry and snarling that is not a natural behaviour. Watching a tiger sleeping gives a good feeling, especially at a time when tigers are facing huge challenges in their survival.

Yea..as you all said,it was really to see a tiger sleeping near waterhole...And more than one hours it was there only resting...Those peoples came with me ,it was their first safari to the jungle..They are really lucky to see the big famous tiger at the first safari itself..

Simply loved the frame , showing a relaxed tiger with surrounding. Excellent.

Thank you Vipin sharma
