After regular visits to India's National Parks/ Tiger Reserves, I have come to realize that it's much tougher to get a private sighting of Tigers these days. Sightings worthy of photography are few and far between. You take what you can get.
This was taken from a semi-private sighting (4-5 jeeps) one evening. I had her undivided attention for a brief period before she walked off to drink water and move away from us. She exhibited various behaviors during this session including scent-marking, flehmen response, spray marking and stalking. I have documented those shots and will share them once I get rid of this jet lag.
Here's one where she appears to be stalking me, but in reality, is not. :-)
This is the lesser known Digdola Tigress from Kanha National Park, India. She resides high up in the hills of Digdola.
Techs: EOS 7D, 300mm @2.8, ISO 640, 1/500, Beanbag on jeep.
