On the evening hunt

This male Tiger was hiding by the riverside for an evening hunt, but was discovered by Barking Deer from the top of hill, who gave an alarm call. The Tiger was not happy to get discovered decided to come in the open and cross the river.

A great look at this tiger, Jagdeep. He is sure looking intently like maybe he had spotted another meal opportunity. Wonderful details and color.

Beautiful image Jagdeep! I love the detail on the tiger, especially the eye. Excellent comp with just the right amount of softness in the background. This shows the habitat and behavior well telling a good story.

Hi Jagdeep,

Your tiger shots are impressive. Wonderful colors and just enough habitat to provide info on the day in the life of a large striped cat. Awesome…Jim

Challenging those deer to come down to the water - leveling the playing field somewhat ?

As usual, I love the colors you manage to capture. The intense greens surrounding this handsome orange cat are perfect for it.
