First and foremost you were able to see the Tigers! The first one is amazing. The second Tiger photo is great as well and shows off the massive muscles of this magnificent big cat.

What a beautiful variety, KD. You captured the essence of the reserve to me. I don't know anything about tigers, but DB3 looks heavy duty. Is he typical of adult males?
Rex
thanks for viewing Rex. Generally the males are more muscular and stout as compared to the females, which are leaner. This one male in particular was huge and was the dominant male in the territory
I keep going over which my favorites are, but to narrow it completely down is hard
Anyhow, my absolut favorite is number 4, the so perfectly timed pose is fantastic. The photo has such harmony. The "lines" or rather curves and shape formed from the wingtips, through the bird's body down into the tree stump. So elegant.
I'm also partial to # 1, 2, 12, 13 and 14. But again, if I were to pick just one, it's # 4
Lil
So pleased I chose to open this post
thanks Lil. It is a wonderful place and there are many unique flora and fauna in the park. You should go there if possible

Excellent job all around!
thanks AZ, yes I did see them, but I've been spoilt from my prior trips wherein the quality and the quantity of the tiger sightings was significantly more

A pro friend was there several years ago. They had just started out in one of those open wildlife tour vehicles when they heard a commotion in the underbrush. He had his Canon 600mm f4 on his camera. He got about 3-4 shots off. Why so little photos? Because the tiger was too close and the camera/lens wouldn't focus! A almost change of underwear moment!
Beautiful Images KD. Love every one of these. Always enjoy viewing your work and seeing species that I will never see in the wild. Just fantastic as always !

Great set of images, KD! I absolutely love that very first image -- you got both his beautiful eyes without the leaves obscuring them.
