This tigress was hiding by the lake side, after a long wait, I had to leave the location as time was over. Just when jeep was leaving, tigress stood up, shining bright in the last rays of sunset......
Thank you so much for your kind attention & views!
Canon 7D; 500mm; ISO 400; 1/125 sec. at F 4.5.

One of your best captures.I like how the tiger is framed between the long and shorter sections of grass. The creamy background is very nice also. Well done.

Beautiful portrait. Gets me excited to finally see tigers in the wild next year.

About the only downside to this is the darker brown patch of grass on the left, which you couldn't help. Everything else--the green grass, background, pose and light is exquisite.

Nice portrait, I would suggest dodging the dark brown grasses just a bit so that they don't stand out so much against the greener grass, other than that this looks great.

Beautiful, Jagdeep! The detail and sharpness on the tiger is exquisite, and I very much like the comp and light here. I share the same "bummer" response as others regarding the darker brown foreground grass on the left, but I can't say that knocks this one down very far...it's just a fantastic image.
