I quite like the color as is, maybe it looks overdone because of the dark BG. Slightly over sharpened and I would take a touch of the bottom if it was mine...Nice one

Another good lo angle POV Sagar, but the main issues have been covered above, but as per the previous image you need to look at your sharpening technique. I wonder also if you were just to drop the brightness too, as it does jump out at you a little, where the conditions look quite dark from the undergrowth and the colours would be a lot more subdued? Also depending on how you feel and your skill in PS, but I would suggest the removal or certainly toning down of the rock just at the Tigers forehead.

Thanks again everyone for your valuable inputs ..

Steve ... your point taken ... and as you correctly said ... i shall work on my sharpening technique .. :)
Have not played much with colors here in PP besides bit contrast .. also agree about reducing the brightness just a lil bit .. Definitely shall work on these inputs.

Thanks for stopping by and comments.
Appreciate it.

Cheers,

Late to the party here Sagar. I agree that it looks oversharpened, but I like the perspective and I especially like how it pops from the dark surroundings. :bg3:
