Sub adult Tiger -Near main road side.

I was in a canter safari at Bandipur TR.I was in last trip safari canter,It was getting dark too.As we entering to the forest from main road i told to my friends to look around .Because others all in canter is look like came for a jolly trip.Someone was eating something,someone was talking with girlfriend etc etc..As we entering to the safari track i saw some move inside bushes ,i felt like i saw a tiger ..I told to the driver to stop the bus and to go back a little..Yep ..Got this cute one sitting inside bushes near main road side..We told to entire peoples to keep silent .So Got this cute one nearly half an hrs .In low light it was little difficult to get a good click from canter .

Cool image. It is great that you got both the eyes in the clear. At times lot of people are not focused and miss sighting. Good that you were alert and got a nice sighting. How much of a crop is this? Why not a higher ISO? Thanks for sharing.

Loved the stare. Agree about the ISO, maybe you forgot to check the settings before you started, it happens a lot of time. So the canter was waiting for nearly half an hour? Did the tiger cross the road?

People don't realise they are in a National Park, they think it is a zoo. Before starting the safari the forest official/driver should give some basic instructions to the people in the bus on the Do's and Dont's. I am not sure if they do that. Thanks for sharing.

Sabyasachi ji ,Thanks ..About ISO it was 2000 ,sorry by mistake I add 200. ...I was the only one with camera in that canter ��.Canter was waiting ,as thr are no other cats sightings .And the driver was my friend too ��.After entire JLR gypsy and buses came into spot ..The tiger was little shy ..Went inside ..And it’s not a big crop .Cropped little bit from sides .

Nice one! The tiger's eyes in between the plants is great one. Like it. :)

Nice pic of a Tiger which seems to be little scared!
