Taken on the way back after the morning drive in Ranthambore, this Tiger was sheltering under a tree, avoiding the building heat of the day. He/she had been watching a small herd of Sika deer grazing, but were far enough away to warrant just a look nothing more.
Slight clipping of the whiskers isn't a deal breaker and very hard to see whilst in the field, or through the lens and am happy to have got the look I wanted.
I have also posted this in recognition to someone and thought it was rather appropriate.

), as it's hard enough to take a photo of any cat in the wild without some obstructive twig or blade of grass messing with us...
