Lovely composition with habitant , eye contact could have made this image outstanding but in wildlife you can only wish but it doesn't mean it will get full-fill. TFS

It seems you had a good trip in Kabini this time, sighting both a Tigress and a Jackal . Nice environment composition. Agree an eye contact, with some light on the eye would have enhanced the image further. A lower angle if possible would have been nice. Did you photograph it standing in the gypsy?

Last time I went to Kabini, they had the bigger gypsies (with raised back) and if you are sitting at the back it was difficult to get a lower angle . Thanks for sharing.

A ray of Sunlight on the face would have been superb. The shadows falling in the background look good. How long was the sighting? It seems you had a terrific trip. Look forward to more images.

I agree with Mrudul about the angle. Last time when we were in Kabini, there were couple of guys fighting like kids to get the front seat. We preferred to take the gallery seat and look for leopards in the trees.
Cheers,

Curved tail, raised paw, pensive mood.. this tiger is all that it has to its character.... thanks for sharing.
