[Harshad Barve]

Dear All
Made this image with D300, 600mm from a cliff top, we were there to shoot some Himalayan Griffons
all of a sudden our guide shouted ' Tiger, Tiger ' and we saw this magnificant male swimming acros the river
Tiger was around 800/900 mtrs away so IQ is regreted , but just wanted to share this
Couple of more if you guys like it :)
All C & C most welcome & much appreciated
Thanks for looking
Harshad

Given the circumstances you were in I think this is pretty good, I like to imagine how good it would have been if you were at water level. Next time I hope?

[Deborah Harrison]

Thanks for sharing.
Think of what you would have got with Artie's 800 and a 2x multiplier:D:D

Just imagining myself on the other side of the river while he swims...sends chills down my spine :-). These Corbett Tigers are surely built like Siberian Tigers, maybe it's the exercise and cold temperatures they get in that region.

Hi Harshad,
I consider this more of landscape.....that happens to have a tiger in it! I feel you composed effectively withthe curve of the river and just some of the distant hill as a BG. Gives a nice sense of the environment.

[Harshad Barve]

I will never get to water levels. These are better than Micheal Phelps in waters:D

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I second Roman's opinion. This is a nice image. I would have loved the tiger slightly to the left. Well done.

Yeh! Darn the water level shot. They probably eat as much as Michael Phelps per day too!. Wonderful sighting. Share some more. Cool shot Harshad Bhai!
