"Tiger - tiger burning bright...in the forest of the night."
Well, tiger is such a magical animal, that can burn bright any time.....for instance in the morning here.
I happen to process this frame for the first time.frown
It's an old shot taken with my old f 4.5, 500mm lens with 2X convertor & Canon 30D focusing manually, in 2007.
Thank you so much for your kind comments and views!

Quite the find from the archives, Jagdeep.  The spotlight on the Tiger and the grasses looks great and really lets them glow.  The space to the left and above adds a fine sense of place.

I can't believe we haven't seen this gem earlier. Simply gorgeous. The light is exceptional.

Beautiful image.  I love the drama of the setting and the "burning" tiger against the mysterious background.

Jagdeep: for me, there are three elements to a great photo  and they are light, subject and composition. You have all three here. Congrats! Richard

This one is really nice, Jagdeep.  I like the way that the Tiger is lit up from the background, and a fine composition overall.  Well done. devil

An exceptional Tiger photo, Jagdeep!  The lighting on the tiger and the reeds, in contrast to the shadowed background are what makes it special.  The clarity  and sharpness is a big plus also.  The panoramic composition works extremely well here also because of the length of the tiger.  Very nice job devil
