MIRROR MIRROR ON THE LAKE, WHO IS THE FURRIEST OF THEM ALL? A young Bengal tiger is captured in a moment of calm stillness, her reflection mirrored perfectly in a muddy pool. The big cat was photographed in Bandhavgarh National Park, India. Bircan Harper said, “This image was captured during a guided photography expedition, in an unusually quiet time in the park, our group explored the surrounding buffer zone, where we were fortunate to observe a tigress accompanied by her cubs.”
