He's the one who rules Bandhavgad now. Although it might not be obvious from this angle, he's so huge that my eyes almost popped out when I saw him for the first time.:Whoa!::eek3::Whoa!:

Early morning, Bandhavgad National Park, India.

300mm @2.8, ISO 400, 1/400, beanbag.

Regards,
Kiran:cheers:

A fitting heir. And yes, his size does come through on this image. Those legs look like they could've come from an elephant and those paws look like cinderblocks!

Kiran,

Thanks very much for this, he looks a big solid boy, and certainly not hungry:S3:

Top shot Kiran, ditto Hilary on the pose and the eye contact. Also like the upright ear position and the background. Good work all around.
Thanks for sharing
Cheers

Really like the intense stare, your work on the eyes is magical Kiran.
He's a beautiful subject, tack sharp as well.

Well, now, Kiran, I cannot think of a more worthy successor to B2! What an absolutely gorgeous tiger! My eyes are dropping out as I type this...:eek3:
I think I might have liked just a sliver more space below, but that is nit-picking :w3
:cheers:

Kiran - great intensity in the stare and those paws look huge. I bet he'll reign for a while. Nice comp too.

An impressive beast Kiran, the stance certainly emphasises how 'well built' this guy is, looks like he is ready to take on his new responsibilities.

Perhaps a hint more at the foot of the image?

Harshad,

Was this the guy behind the tree by the small waterhole, I think they were mostly too obscured.
