Just be patient!
Taken earlier this year, a magnificent young male Tiger, prime condition surveying his territory, concealed in the thick grass. Waiting to ambush rather than the chase.

One of the most magical setting for wildlife!

a superb looking animal and the simple composition really shows off his colours and markings. Excellent.

Very nice indeed Steve. When I opened this my first thoughts were exactly as John R....'just like a painting'. I can't fault it at all. Lovely.

An excellent image, the head really pops from the Bg and the blurred grasses in the fg give it life as well. just like a painting as already mentioned, but the artist wouldn't have put that one stray stem in front of his face. Sod's law and it would make me mad if it were mine. A really beauty.
