I leaned over the side of the gypsy and held my camera down to get an eye level shot. The composition suffered on the left edge, where the Gypsy side guard came into my frame. I thought I had lost a nice image. Then a creative idea cropped up in my mind and edited the picture this way. See the…

Suddenly, we spotted a tiger crossing the road in the blue haze of the early winter morning. She is a bold tigress and gave us a good show…
