Spy in grass

[Harshad Barve]

Dear All

Again another image of tiger but in different perspective
This subadult male was resting in grass & his razor sharp eyes were focussed on Deers.
Unfourtunately story ended without any action.

Taken at Bandhavgarh Nationla park , Madhya Pradesh, India with D300/600MMVRII/ISO 200/F 6.3 at 1/250 secs.

All C & C are most welcome

Harshad, I like the light and colours in this, and I would maybe take a bit off the left.

[Fabs Forns]

Another one of your fabulous tigers. This time the light is a bit harsh, maybe you can use an inverse curve to tame the contrast.

[Paul Marcellini]

I would love to see tigers one day. Besides taming the contrast, I would crop to take the head off center a bit. Love that stare though.

[Ed Cordes]

Contrast suggestion mentioned. I would crop the entire image a little tighter.

I like the focused look and the surrounding vegetation (might crop out the darker parts at the top as they draw my eye). Interesting to note the tail that close to the head. Seems he'd keep it low and to the rear while stalking deer so as not to draw attention to himself.

Steve,
When a tiger is about to charge its entire body would be still except for the tail. The tail would be twitching and would be behind the tiger.
