Another great tiger image Jagdeep. I really like the smooth BG, the look from the cub, and the lighting in the shaded areas in this image. It looks like a big kitten that just had some fun in the muddy water and is now taking a break. Thank you for sharing these with us.

Wow! The cub is pretty relaxed around you. It’s like the tiger knows just how beautiful s/he is. Is this at a preserve or in the wild? How amazing to witness this and be able to make such a fantastic image.

Wow – a regal creature!! Wonderful light and setting/BG! Looks like the JPEG conversion had emphasized/added some sharpening that the subject doesn’t look like it needs.
