Tiger quenching thirst

This image was clicked in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve. The tigress had four cubs and they were resting after feasting on a wild boar kill. (Same tigress who died this year from a poisoned kill). I clicked this from top of an elephant. From my files. I have never shared these before.

Canon EOS 10D, Canon EF 300mm F4 L IS USM, f5.6, 1/45, ISO 100, handheld. I get a smile in my face when I see my shots in ISO 100.

Look forward to your comments and critiques.

Nice pose. Liked the composition. Sharp. Would have liked a bit more space on top. Which year have you photographed this?

This was in 2005. I was still shooting digital and slides side by side.

Nice image, it is always wonderful to watch tigers near body or quenching its thirst. Agree with Mrudul somemore space at the top would be nice.
