She is indeed stalking!The tigress- Tadoba diaries

[Shyamala Kumar]

It was really the most exciting moment I ever had on safari. I am presenting an image of the same tigress with the extra space in the front and no grass blade blocking her eye view.But this is before she leaves the track and moves into the undergrowth after her quarry as portrayed in the earlier image.Our jeep was covered with a tarpaulin and it was very difficult shooting from under it.My camera was soaked (though no harm done).I was determined to capture her fascinating movements and the image of her beautiful coat glistening in the pouring rain.I preferred the earlier image but I suppose this one better satisfies the aesthetics.D3200 +55-300MM 1/125S FL200MM ISO1600
