The Queen of Ranthambhore
At Ranthambhore with Craig Jones :wink: Got luck on very first game drive and saw Machali the famous 15 year old tigress with no teeth.

Very quickly processed in DPP with asistance from a couple of Kingfishers :biggrin:

Mk4 and 70-200 mk2 balanced on the side of the truck :wink:

She looks well considering she's gumming everything to death. Saw a doco in BBC about her not so long ago - is still banished from the lake by her daughter?

Brings back memories, branches, grass, leaves...always getting in the way. I swear that Rouse bloke has 'em shipped in and tied down. She looks like a big girl to say she can only drink her prey. Nice one Bob, I hope your luck stays in!! :toast:

Lovely shot with excellent pose. Might consider a little more sharpening on the Tiger.
