    Nice head on view and walking pose. Colors look good too. I'm sure some won't be fans of the road but it is what it is.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Nurdeen, nice image and certainly no issues with the sandy road.

    Might just tighten up the crop, less FG which offers more chance to enjoy the subject.

    Fully agree with Steve on this one - I would crop tighter...
    Perhaps also another round of slight sharpening on the tiger? Not too much though...
    Lovely colours.

    Hi Rachel,
    Thanks for your comments. As for taking Tiger on the road I have a few things to point out. According to some Tiger experts there is distinct possibility in a decade or two this beautiful feline may disappear from the Indian forest altogether so I better photograph them were ever I find them so I can show it to my grandchildren
    Tigers always prefer to walk on these soft dirt tracks because they do not want to cause any injury to their delicate pads under their foot once they hurt their legs their hunting ablates are severely compromised and they die of starvation or may turn man-eaters.

    I have to disagree with this , They may not be roaming everywhere but they will certainly survive in small pockets of national parks for ever , Amen

    Even in places like the Kalahari desert, where there's not much that can 'damage' their pads, the big cats love to walk on the sand road created by the grading vehicle as it's just nice and soft and there's no rocks to scrunch, making them able to approach potential prey with even more stealth. We find fresh lion/leopard tracks in the road every morning, even though the terrain is wide open
