Congrats on getting both, iconic to your country!  Only small thing I would wish for would be a little more depth of field to lend more focus to the tiger, which you could have attained with a smaller aperture.

That is neat!  I like how the tiger is looking back over her shoulder at the peafowl, but is staying comfortably cooling off in the water.  What a cool cat.

Very nice and very unique photo and I love your title, Nishand!  The tiger observing the bird also is a nice bonus.  Great opportunity and a good job of capturing it!
