[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Seeing a tiger in the wild is an adrenaline rush, a look into his eyes & my hands trembled.This was part of a series of images i managed on my trip to Kanha this January.
This i was told is a 11 year old male.He walked across the road , thrashed a tree probably expressing his resentment at sighting us. Then walked parallel to the road through the jungle only to emerge again & walk directly towards us.Only if the guy in the Jeep ahead of us had not turned on his ignition...
Still a scene etched in memory.

Anyone who has seen the majesty of the tiger in his habitat would want to preserve it.No Photographs or skins or trophies can bring alive the spirit of this beautiful cat.

He's so handsome, I can only imagine how exciting this could be to see one in the wild. Well seen and captured. TFS
Best wishes,

I agree with you..This is a beautiful shot!!And yes, nothing does justice to this animal's beauty, no matter what the angle, it's Creation at it's beat!And you've just added to that beauty!!
Thanks & respect,

Wow!! Brilliant cpature here. The composiiton is awesome here. I also recently experienced sighting the tiger in the wild and agree with you that nothing can bring it alive.

What an impressive beast, Badar! Veritable power in each of its well-shaped limbs.
I like the light deflecting off its back, head and foreleg. This lends a realistic touch to the image.
Well done and TFS.

Hi Badruddin,
Fantastic and a rare moment captured. This is such a dream come true scene for everyone entering the sancturies and parks. I feel so jealous of you. I like the angle of light falling on its body and the casual approach of the Tiger. It portrays that he RULES this space. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

Hi Badar,
Wonderful capture! A very healthy looking Tiger too, I'm glad. I can only imagine what this experience must have been like, I spent two days in Ranthambore and only saw one track. I'm very happy you got to see this, I plan on returning to India and spending more time looking for these, hopefully I'll get to see something like this.
Best regards,
Adrian

Hello Badruddin,
I can imagine the adrenalin rush on seeing this marvellous beast. Not only that but to take such a fine sharp shot as this would be a dream for me. The light has nicely outlined his body in what would otherwise be fairly dark and the effect is stunning.
Thanks for sharing this great image and a little of what you must have experienced,
Best wishes, Ivan

Hello Badruddin,
I believe you, it must be a fantastic experience! I'm glad you had time enough to get this capture which I think is brilliant! Wonderful light and colours and focus on the Tiger is spot-on to give sharp details too.
Well done!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

I feel the adrenaline already watching the picture on mp PC so I simply I can not imagine the the real life meeting in the jungle...

Best,
