Good job of witing for the head turn. Even though there seems to be some o-o-f stuff at the bottom, this needed to be a VERT (with the tiger on the right side of the frame) as it is too, too tight on the bottom.

Harshad, I like the detail and colours in this, together with the head turn. Here is my version. Unfortunately, I dont have much to work with at the bottom, but I really like your OOF BG.

Nice capture Harshad. Too bad for tthe lack of space at the bottom

[Fabs Forns]

Beautiful head turn, I like the inclusion of the trees and touch of green suggesting the environment. I prefer the original with more room at bottom, even if it is OOF.

Dear All
Thanks a lot for all useful tips
Posting here original RAW frame
I know that bottom is too tight but cant help
Imagine you are looking at tiger who is standing in 8 inch bowl & top edge of bowl is bottom line in this image & cant shoot Bowl as it is invisible
I hope my english is good enough to explain
will appreciate all help in compostions.
Thanks
Harshad

Harshad,

You did good getting the tree out of the BG. Vertical crop is a good choice here. Good depth of field on the tiger.

Harshad,
I agree that vertical would have been a better choice here. In this case a higher shooting angle would have been better as the legs would have been revealed. Good job of aligning the tree to the right side of the frame. Personally, I feel it is better to mention if there is any cropping or cloning done. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
