Nice. I like the contrast between the tiger and the dry grass. No nits with the composition, although I wish more of the kill was visible.

Actually they had killed the stag in the night and had nearly finished it off when we saw it in the morning. An adult tiger can eat about 25-30kgs of meat at one go. There were four of them (tigress and three grown up cubs) so it is easy to finish off the kill soon. They left the place a few minutes later.
