    A different angle to a previous posting.

    In the heat of the day the best place to wait for Tigers is by a watering hole and just be patient! To achieve the angle was not something I would advise, but an angle finder does help:D

    Harshad please do not try this at home:D:D:D:D:D

    Here you go guys. Just means that for us 'oldies' we don't need to get down that low.:D

    Thanks Steve
    I was thinking that that's perhaps what you were talking about. Do you use it very much?
    I usually just get down on my knees and pray.:D

    Nice image Steve! I like it a lot. I guess it would be another two years, before we can think of articulated lcd to wriggle out of such difficult siutations. Any processing done to the background? Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,

    Like the close crop. Great texture on the tongue as well.

    Perfect timing Steve. Low angle is working out great here.

    Beautifully composed and framed. Love how you have been able to get the motion in the tongue!

    Thanks everyone for taking the time to comment.;)

    Hi Sabyasachi, sorry but I am a little unclear about part of your comment, probably just slow this morning. Could you please expand thank you.:)

    Re BG, nothing at all. The only bit that I have done is crop from landscape to portrait, a hint of saturation and minimal sharpening. Hope that helps.;)

    Steve,
    A very clean image with a brilliant low perspective. I love how you squeezed out loads of details for this web sized version. A very different tiger shot.:)

    Outstanding capture in all regards, Steve. I also don't prefer the angle finder, but on foot in the presence of tigers, lions or grizzlies, I prefer not to be in the prone position, so it was a wise choice. Very, very well done!

    Oh my god, now that is really an in-your-visage image! If it has such devastating impact on the viewer in this size, I really wonder what an overwhelming experience it would be to behold a huge print. Just loved it!
