PS ,
Sleeping tiger is Dhiti and other is Choti , Jhurjhura female is mother and Bokha is father :)

Beautifull Harshad. Love the stroke of light on Dhiti's face.

[Robert Amoruso]

Agree I like the light on the laying one and the stare from the other.

[Marc Mol]

The subdued darker BG lighting and strong diagonal lines of the waters edge to the contrasting dappled light on Dhiti, and great eye contact with Choti, make this a fine image Harshad. VWD :cheers:

Magic indeed, beautiful image.

[Stu Bowie]

Well spotted to capture the ray of light, and love the eye contact from Choti.

( can your team recover :) )

( can your team recover :) )

You know the answer :)

[Steve Kaluski]

Love the light & composition on this one Harshard. The stare is to die for:D Nicely done. :cheers:

BTW I wonder if a pano crop might also be another alternative, cropping at the point where the diagonal hits the rhs? Just a thought.

Your wish , Our command Sir :D:D:D

[Steve Kaluski]

Your wish , Our command Sir Harshad you know how to make a man blush. :o

I was thinking a bit lower, working down from the top rhs to just where the leaves start, below the green blob, it's about an inch :D

[Steve Kaluski]

Thanks Harshad for the PM, but on reflection it might be too tight, WDYT?

Steve :)

[Charles Glatzer]

Way to see and shoot the light ;)

Best,

Chas

[Todd Frost]

Love the play of light Harshad. Pano crop works well for me, Steve's is a little tight IMHO. I would opt for your repost. Well done.

Happy holidays!

[Brendan Dozier]

Real nice, made me think of that fancy term in Art History 101: "chiaroscuro"
I think you do need to keep those reflected leaves (or at least some) in the upper right for a better composition and some DOF.

[Mike Fuhr]

Very nice, Harshad -- I like the pano version. Make me want to take a nap!:)

[Danny J Brown]

Beautiful shot, Harshad, rich in light, color and texture. I love it. Repost even better. Sweet.
