Mohan Thomas
Taken in Kaziranga National Park in Assam, where the tigers are particularly shy and refuse to come on the road, Thomas captured this moment of evident irritability when the park was relatively empty due to torrential rains. The tiger was in the main shrubland, but Thomas had a gut feeling the cat would show itself on the road. The driver of the jeep disagreed with him but eventually agreed to move the jeep back and park it sideways so that Mohan could get a low shot. And lo and behold, just as the driver was backing up and parking, this male showed himself and was clearly displeased with the audience.
