[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
BENGAL TIGER
Head/body length: 5 feet 10 inches- 9 feet 1 inch; tail length: 36 inches; weight: 350-550 pounds; shoulder height three feet or less. Eyes are large with excellent vision. Hearing is good with well developed ear flaps. They have large canine teeth and strong, powerful jaws. Paws are heavily padded; claws are retractable. Coloration is bright fawn to reddish tan, shading to white underneath, and sharply marked with uneven black stripes: a unique pattern for each individual. Fur is short and thick. Whiskers (vibrissae) are long with thick individual hairs.

Found throughout India from the Himalayas to Cape Comorin, except in the deserts. (Other races are found in Burma, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, and Bali.) Prefered habitats include dense thickets, long grass, or tamarisk shrubs along river banks. Some seem to have special fondness for cover in old ruins.

Mukemmel fotoğraf, çok güzel bakışlar yakalamışsınız. Ellerinize sağlık.

Really, really good. Detail and colors are super. There is however that little green stick on top of his head. Photoshop can fix that for sure. Just a thought ;-).

Hello Sezai , A Fantastic shot , great colours light compositie details hs eyes , very good ,Greetings Teunie .

Fortunately we have zoos all over the world, otherwise we could not see many tigers. I saw ONE in a tiger sanctuary in Ranthambore, northern India. Too much hunting, just for fun, in India. Sad but true.
The colours and the brightness in your photo is excellent.
