Walk with Pride/Bandipur (Record Shot)

[Praveen Siddannavar]

It was Saturday the 4th Feb'12, we were returning from the evening safari, light was extremely low. And suddenly we spotted this beautiful tigress (Gowri) walking with her head held high & why not she is the proud mother who has raised 4 cubs successfully. Within minutes it was even more exciting & a treat to watch all 4 sub adult cubs follow the mother, I have some record shots of the entire family.

There is a mystic eerie feeling to the pic,because of the B&W presentation.The stripes have come out well and it seems you had a wonderful encounter with the tigers.

The b/w composition looks nice here. It gives a nice feel of the jungle. The light seems pretty low. It is good that you got the head part in focus. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.
