great intense stare and growl Harshad! feels a bit underexposed to me, and the face a tad soft. pity also that you cut off the ears. anxious to see the rest of the series!

I wish the ears were in the frame as well. I am anticipating a teritorial dispute and a lot of fireworks here :D

Cheers,
Kartik

In your face Love the tight portrait !!! Might have pointed the camera a little more to the right

Not sure the f stop setting but with these closes one I like getting as much as possible ... would probably increase the ISO !!! Excellent image High impact !!!

Shutter speed? Aperture? Knowing would help us to help you.

Harshad, if you would have gone to VERT format you would have been famous!

You were simply too late in turning the camera to VERT as the tiger approached.... Had you been in VERT for pane 1, you would, as I said above, have been famous... Next time be ready!

With a walking tiger, you needed a lot more shutter speed therefor you needed to go to a much higher ISO, 800 at least, 1600 would be preferred.
