Very nice set... very few people get the chance to photograph wild tigers... it looks like you made the most of your opportunities. I particularly like the reflected tiger and believe that you could push your processing a bit and make some really special out of that image.
cheers,

Awesome set, the Tiger shots are stunning. Nice work.
Thanks. Recently, the Indian Supreme Court has imposed a temporary ban on tourism around the 'core' areas in the Tiger reserves. If there are less eyes and ears in the National Parks, the poachers will have a freer hand to kill the Tigers with almost no impunity.

I feel your pain! Knowing what the light is like in the tiger reserves I think you just have to be incredibly lucky or have an unlimited amount of time to capture those crisp, close, low ISO shots that we dream about. Saying that, I think you did a fine job and when you realize the vast majority of people never even see a tiger on their safari, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. The kingfisher and owl shots are very nice as is the running boar image.

Thanks Eric. I am now equipped with the Canon EOS-1D X camera, with its superior high ISO noise performance. Take a look at my Blog post on this subject.

Thanks. Mercifully, the Indian Supreme Court has lifted the ban on Tiger tourism and I am going back next Spring for another safari. Hope to get better lighting this time but the heat can be a problem.
