Tiger Mating - disengaging

[Sabyasachi Patra]

This image follows the previous post. After the coital act is over, the male releases his hold over the lady (you can see him earlier holding her by the scruff of her neck) and gives vent to a roar while the lady gives a copulatory cry. The lady then takes a swipe with her paw at the male and the male instinctively takes evasive action.

Canon EOS 1 D Mark II, Canon EF 28-135 f3.5-5.6 IS lens, ISO 100, f5.6, 1/80 sec. full frame.

Look forward to your comments.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Love the sense of action thats portrayed by the slight bluring of the tigers. Very edgey.. Again the down angle but you know that...
