I have much more respect for shooters that shoot the mammals now that I have tried :). Many thanks for looking and commenting

07 May 2015 Gbutterf1 said:Good shot Tom, however the words "unexpectedly close" are probably not best linked with Tiger photography that's why Mr. Nikon invented big lenses. Didn't you once suggest a Macro photo of a Alligator to me? Stick to dancing cows.

09 May 2015 User said:Thanks George, I certainly remember suggesting a Macro for your next Croc/Alligator shot ;) . This was "My" Tiger. Long story, but the only Tiger seen by anyone in the four days we were there. I had just put the TC1.4 on the 300 2.8/D300s about 5 minutes before. I had the 70-200vr 2.8II on the D700. Should have reversed the camera/lens combos :( .

other than a monkey. Full frame and a lot to learn!! Shot at unexpectedly close range in Kanha,M.P. India...you spend the time, energy and money ;) ...you really expect the young male to do something...even a yawn would have bee nice!
