Created this image in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. I have been photographing this wild tigress for the last five years and at the same spot as well.
Canon EOS 1D Mark II, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII ie. at 800mm, ISO 200, f10, 1/320, EV: +1/3rd. Full frame image.
I like the eye contact in this, and pity the other one is facing away. Not sure who is the mom, and who is the child, as they both look the same size to me. I like the earthy colours in this, and one can see how they blend into their surroundings. I presume the position you captured this from, that you were on higher ground, and probably in a vehicle too.
I really like that you continue to include a lot of environment in these images. I think it really helps tell the story. Not sure about the tiger with his/her head down - that detracts a small bit from the image. Looks like he/she might be munching on something.
Nice looking cats, must be quite a thrill to photograph these animals. I love the environment as well but there might be a little to much room in front and above. Maybe just a little contrast boost also for my taste.
