I am surprised that you were able to take this photo with a 70-200! I assume you were in a boat and they tolerate vehicles, even boats? I really like the setting and the low point of view here. My only quibble with the scene is the presence of the tracks in the sand. A minor issue but still detracts a little from the wilderness feeling. Still shaking my head about the idea of being so close to this amazing cat, what a great honor.

Nice shot. I like the pose of the tiger. If the photo were mine I would crop a bit on the left to avoid the fresh tracks. It would be ideal to see the tongue.

Great view of his face from a nice low perspective. I really wish you had this with the tongue lapping water! I think this would have been a great candidate for vertical orientation, with some more of the reflection as part of the composition.

This is an amazing perspective. Must have been incredible to be so close. It is a shame about the tire track in the BG but still a great image :wavey:
