Most Tiger shots are those of Tigers sitting or ambling around. Lots of people have never seen a tiger in action in the wild. These beasts can transform from a seemingly docile over grown cat to a lightning quick killing machine at the spur of a moment. 

Here T39 is chasing a Sambhar deer near a dried river bed and is at full stretch in her quest to catch her prey.

D5, 70-200 F2.8 E, 1/400, ISO 1200.

Lucky you to see this, and to capture such a nice photo! Peak of action with all 4 feet off the ground and the tail flying.

I haven't seen many images of a tiger at full speed. As Cindy noted, great job off capturing all four feet off the ground. Impressive image.
