This is an excellent image, and it frustrates me that people are looking and not bothering to comment.
Beautiful cat and nice reflection.
I'd suggest selectively darkening the bright face a bit, and - to me - the image seems a little off level.

Thanks for saying it, Sandy. I have been a fault for not commenting about images I should have. This is an excellent image. Although it seems to be a bit tilted to the left, I probably would have an even more tilted image if I had that coming at me. Jagdeep you have done it again. Spectacular!

Jagdeep.
One of the best Tiger images I have seen, true beauty captured perfectlydevil
I too bemoan the lack of comments.
It looks level to me, my one and only nit would be the "additional" reflection where you have inserted your name,

Really nice.  I agree there is a slight tilt. (Easily correctable in post processing)  One can check that by measuring a true vertical from a key recognizable feature (tip of nose, etc.) in the reflection to the same on the face.  The lighting is great and I am sure this will present well on a wall.  I think I would consider removing the bottom-most set of ears below your watermark with a bit of crop, but that is a matter of personal preference.  All in all, great image.

Hi Jageep,

Compelling image - very nicely done (and if the name of the river actually is "The Golden River" it is very well named!). I am in agreement with Sandy that the image appears a little off-level and that a slight CW rotation (using reflections of key body parts vs. the subject as your reference) would likely strengthen the image. I also felt at first glance that the head region was slightly too bright. But those small nits aside (both of which could be easily remedied)...just a very solid image of an amazing subject!

Cheers...

Brad

The colors are indeed golden, Jagdeep, and they glow very well in the light.  The eyes are amazingly intense.  I also like how you've caught both the motions and reflections in the water.

Another beautiful tiger image. One of your best.  I like how the colors of the river match the tiger's colors.
