Tiger scape | Tadoba

It was a fine sunny, nonetheless chilly, morning. The environ was filled with vibrant calls of alarm from all forms of prey.
All of a sudden, this tigress appeared at the edge of the water body, converting it into an open air auditorium, with people in 3 vehicles being the audience :)

We were hopeful that she would bring her four cubs who were lurking somewhere nearby as well, but the wait proved to be only a wait :D

Nice mood here.... the habitat looks good.Understand its a scape but I wud have preffered to zoom in a bit and make the tiger slightly more prominent here.

Thanks Roopak. I do have some images at the full focal length of 400mm. Will share them soon :)

Nice environment photograph. Is there a stone in front of the tigress? Some more details in the tigress would have been good. Look forward to see more in the series. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Mrudul. Yes, there is a stone in front of the tigress, which one will be able to see more clearly in the pictures I made at 400mm.

Unfortunately the head is in the shadow of the stone. A narrow aperture may have been even better. It is difficult to see the details in the subject in this image as the size of the subject is small relative to the overall area.

Cheers,
