    Dear All

    I have never seen such a big tiger climbing swiftly on tree in many years

    D3, 200-400/F4 at F4 , ISO 800 , 1/320 in Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve
    How I wish lighting was more favorable
    All C & C are most welcome

    Wow... Harshad looks like you got an unique image of great behavior. I have seen picture of them on logs and tree branches close to the ground but nothing like this. One in a million shot.
    This is amazing bhai. Keep them coming.

    Lighting? I like it, the mostly backlight gives an interesting sparkle to the scene and scattered foliage.
    Thinking maybe a closer crop, how about this ? -

    Certainly unusual, and I'm sure you were quite chuffed when you captured the moment. VWD
    Inclusion of vegetation actually frames quite nicely, just a shame about the central branch running through him, backlit lighting is certainly better than harsh midday.

    Great and interesting behavior. Guessing it was too late for the book . I prefer the OP to Tom's crop which I think loses some of the feeling of height.

    TFS,
