2016 Wildlife Photo Contest

Royal Bengal Tiger, Ranthambhore, India
hmmm, there is an intruder around...

Species: Royal Bengal Tiger | Location: Ranthambhore, India

She could smell a female intruder in her territory and wasn't happy about it. She then proceeded to mark trees, also scratch them to make sure the "other one" gets the message. It was an awesome sighting and an absolute pleasure to watch her defending her territory with all the means in her possession.

About The Photographer

I am particularly interested in wildlife, preferably rare by now, and in outstanding sceneries. I am mostly self-taught and getting better with each trip due to practice and reading up constantly about photography, also the gear is getting better yearly... which does help, I must admit. My travels are mainly geared towards these two subjects with some architecture thrown in, if appropriate.
