Tiger reference photography

This beautiful tigress is completely wild and belonged to Bandhavgarh Tiger reserve. On this occasion, we were on our evening game drive during peak summer season, so we waited it out near this artificial waterhole quite close to the safari track with many other jeeps as well as she slept off the heat within the bamboo. Having waited for more than an hour for her to get up and anticipating her to come for a drink, she did not disappoint.

A tighter crop on the face of the tiger I posted a couple of days ago.
