    Congratulations Steve Kaluski
    Sleeping Tiger, Hidden Dragon

    OK, so it's not the movie.

    Occasionally it is quite nice to step out from a shot, and try to give it context, something I am trying to do more & more.

    Second vehicle into the park meant that the chances of finding fresh pugmarks was high and we were not disappointed in what we located. Within 15 mins we found our beast, asleep and quite content, chasing Sika, Chital and of course Sambar in their dreams, set against probably, the most spectacular backdrop. Ironic, that this most majestic of all cats, now plays host within the grounds of a famous hunting lodge, where almost 1200 Tigers lost their lives.

    Things have now changed for the good and they are now the Maharajas of Jaipur, surveyors of all they see, a great testimony to the Park, Officials & visitors

    Finally, to Ken Watkins, thank you for introducing me to a great site, Harshad, our paths will cross my friend and India, will ROCK!, and to all who have commented, now and in the future, thank you!

    Have a great Xmas and happy snapping for 2010, but lets be safe out there.

    Steve

    I realy am not too sure what to say!!!:eek:

    Also I am not sure how this all works, however I would like to say a big thank you.

    Harshad, thank you for reminding to share some of my Tiger images via PM & comments. Ken, like you and the other members of this Forum, I just like to share images and experiences, occasionally getting too passionate about their welfare. I will be more reserved Sir.:p

    Thank you one & all :):):)
