Million dollar tiger

[Harshad Barve]

Dear All
he is B2 ,
B2 in Bandavgarh is also an extraordinary tiger. He has sired over 35 tigers, 90% of which lived to adulthood, an extraordinary high ratio itself thanks to the protection he has been able to afford his many lovers! The sizable majority of tigers living in Bandhavgarh today are his sons and daughters. As Head of the family business, B2 has been estimated to have earned US$30m over his 7 year reign in the Tala Tourism range.

All C & C welcoem & appreciated

He's an awesome Tiger....and you managed to get this lovely frame with eye contact ! Terrific...the huge forearms...that wet look.

Wish the light was a bit sweeter...but hey, it's B2, it's wild, you take what you can get.

Great job, Harry !

He is the HULK of Bandhavgarh .. What a Physique !!! .. You have got him in a wonderful setting .. the light may be strong but when everything else is in place I don't complain :) ... His presence in the frame is enough to make it leave an impact !! Congrats for this one !!

What a beast. Nice comp here, light could be better but well handled..

[Mike Tracy]

A true stud.

I like his position in the frame and the indirect glance. TFS.

[Ed Cordes]

Stunning animal. I like the HA and the sharp detail you captured. The size of the front paws is huge! I am impressed. Photographically, I do wish the light were a bit softer and the BG were a bit less grainy.

CONGRATS FOR YOUR 1000 bhai. I am sure soon you will pass the 2k with your keen participation.

Thes fella is a stud for sure. What a great image too BTW HarshadBhai. I love it. Light matters not here at all. That's an incredibly fertile papa tiger indeed my brother. :) TFS big time for this!!!

[Ken Watkins]

What good news I last saw B2 in March 2005, and he was a very big fellow then.

Nice to see that he is still going strong and still providing great photographic opportunities.

[Grace Scalzo]

What a powerful creature, your image conveys that very well. Looking forward to your next 1,000!

[Fabs Forns]

If I were a tigress, I'd be in love at first site :)

What a great looking, powerful creature, and your angle really makes him stand out.

[Morkel Erasmus]

congrats on 1000 Harshad!! stunning tiger, great photo. in the wild, we take them when we see them - love the wet fur. he is HUGE! wish to see wild tigers in my lifetime sometime...

[Vivek Khanzode]

Wow.... as others have suggested, the light could be better, but then this is a shot of B2!! That in itself counts for more than the light. You also managed to get good eye contact and the gaze is frightening...

Thanks for sharing Harshad..
