The Tiger from Ranthambhore

As mentioned previously, I had bought this sculpture made out of black clay from a Handicraft Centre called Dastkar outside Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve where women from the villages surrounding the park sell their works.
Anyway, for more than a year it lay in a desolate corner in the drawing room of my house until I caught sight of it a couple of months ago.
What I did with it was as follows.
I first propped it up against a pillow on the bed and switched of all lights. A minimal beam of light came through the window.
The camera was made to incline slightly upwards using a hand towel.
It was a fully automatic mode, except the focussing, which I purposely switched of as in the dark it would end up using the flash for like ten seconds, a major battery drain which I did not want.
So I focussed it manually by tilting my head so that it would be parallel to the bed.
I forget the aperture rating the camera was giving, but the shutter speed was around five or six seconds.( I had the flash switched off)
For illumination I got a strong torch which I pointed at the mouth to give supernatural feel to the photograph, and then I clicked.
After an agonizing wait of six seconds, the picture, not completely satisfactory, but with the 'equipment' I used, I was pleasantly surprised at the results.
I clciked about fifteen more photographs of the tiger with the torch pointing at different parts of the tiger but they did not come out that well.
I tried putting the torchlight on only one east or west, I cannot remember which, hemisphere, to show a Dr. Jekyll, Mr. Hyde sort of an arrangement but I could not as the torch beam was not precise enough.
SoI settled for the mouth one.
