This black and white close-up captures the intense detail of a tiger’s face, photographed in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. Taken at close range, the image focuses on the textures and structure of the animal’s features—its fur, whiskers, and the symmetry of its markings. Converting the image to black and white emphasizes contrast and form, drawing attention to the tiger’s eyes and the fine detail in its facial pattern. The composition—a half-face portrait—centres the viewer’s focus on a single eye, enhancing the sense of presence and precision in the animal’s gaze. Bandhavgarh is known for its high density of Bengal tigers, making it one of the most reliable locations for close wildlife encounters of this nature.
