jkphoto Posted November 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted November 3, 2008 (atop an elephant!) First of all, you are a braver man than I !!! What a great image. I see a "Yin/Yang" shaped balance between the upper left and lower right ... the tiger balances the shrubs ... so much more than a "grab shot" on your elephant ride!

stuny Posted November 4, 2008 Share #6 Posted November 4, 2008 Sharookh - They are so rare that you were quite lucky. Excellent photo in every way, and Joe, people are completely safe from tigers and Asian rhinos aboard trained Indian elephants. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharookh Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share #7 Posted November 4, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) Gents - Many thanks! Photographing Tigers is my hobby, passion, weakness.... call it what you may. I have been documenting Tigers at Bandhavgarh since 2002, albeit mostly on Nikon cameras! I have close to 12000 images of this wonderful species, which till today, bring out the hair on my back when I see one. Such beauty is rare. Although the population is depleting owing to extensive poaching, Bandhavgarh luckily has the highest saturation of Tigers in the world per square kilometer. It has a wonderful terrain and along with another park - Kanha, was the inspiration for Rudyard Kiplings' - Jungle Book! The park has been made famous more recently by Nic Nichols of NG with his documentary of "Sita" the grandmother of the cub you see above. My sincere request to everyone - visit a tiger sanctuary once in your life - it will alter your perception of life permanently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografr Posted November 4, 2008 Share #8 Posted November 4, 2008 This is a spectacular photograph of a spectacular animal. Additionally, it will serve as a beautiful historical record when, in the not too distant future, a scene like this sadly may no longer exist.

sharookh Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share #9 Posted November 4, 2008 Brent - Many thanks for the kind words. If this picture succeeds in introducing even one person to the cause of the tiger - I think it's well worth it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samwells Posted November 5, 2008 Share #12 Posted November 5, 2008 Sharookh: Wonderful shot and a superb composition; amazing how the textures in the grass echo the sinuous stripes on the tiger. Great capture of a truly beautiful animal. cheers: Sam Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

michali Posted November 6, 2008 Share #15 Posted November 6, 2008 Sharookh- Absolutely outstanding! The textures of the grass and the tiger are superb. A few years ago I spent 4 weeks visiting several tiger reserves in India and Nepal, a trip I want to repeat next year again. MIKE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz - Thanks eversomuch - I'm really glad you like this image. There are several parks in India, the main ones being - Kanha, Bandhavgarh and Ranthambore, to name a few. Bandhavgarh is my favourite and the chances of sighting tigers are far greater than in the other parks owing to Bandhavgarhs' size. Do let me know if you wish to have more info on this park. I would happily oblige. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
