He is Coming ...

Great image of the tiger, such intensity in it's face. I would suggest and it is IMHO only, trying a verticle crop, or cropping off more off of the left side of the tiger. I think you might get a stronger image. Thanks for sharing.

Nice capture, Subharghya.
This crop works very well for me except for the stick in the lower right hand corner. A square crop would work for me as well.
Cool shot!

Beautiful photo of this tiger Subharghya. I would also agree that a closer crop may remove some of the not particularly attractive foreground and background. The tiger himself though is really nice - exposure, focus and coming right at you position are terrific!

I would agree with a slight crop bottom and right to eliminate some of that dark log. The tiger looks great! The lighting works well and I like his active moving into the camera posture. I also like how you controlled the background.

Was he interested in only the fat lens, or the fat chap behind the lens!

HI Subharghya,

I like the raised paw and the intense stare of this little kitty ! The grasses don't both me at all - I think they add to the image. My personal preference would have been for a vertical original capture and, in that case (and if at all possible) a little tighter framing, both of which would have (I think) added to the existing intensity of this image. But a very nice shot of a majestic creature exactly as posted...

Cheers...thanks for sharing...

A wonderful image n setting ! Agree about some croping at the bottom and left area without grasses. Image may need som CW rotation.

Good detail on the larger image, I like the fact that the tiger is looking directly at you, the exposure looks great and maybe a slight crop would help but overall a wonderful image, way to go.

Hi Friends ..

Thanks for your honest opinions and appreciations .. While processing I had made two versions of it .. This one that is posted and the vertical crop shown above .. While the vertical crop intensifies the thrill of the scene, the wider perspective attracts me due to the pattern created by the crisscrossing grass behind. As you wanted to see the vertical crop I am sharing it here .. I hope you will like it :)

Jagdeep ji the ground had this natural slope and if you look at the eye you will see that they are perfectly horizontal as I have leveled it in PS .. I initially thought of leveling the ground but then felt that originally it was not like that so settled upon this leveling :)

Excellent shot displaying the habitat and interaction. I prefer the vertical but would like some more all around. Where was this shot?

Satie - This is shot in Bandhavgarh :)
