I have said this before but I feel I need to say again, the image in the browser looks good but when viewed in PSCC it sings! Super shot the differential focus on the head and whiskers is just amazing. I like the colours and tones - excellent shot.

Hi Haseeb .. hope you can go back quickly , to spot her and her litter .
Nice intense image with a cool posture of her , how long did she stay there ??? Love the direct stare of those eyes .
Overall very nice processed and presented .... color and tones looking good and natural . Nice fine detail rendered ....
I can see a version with the exposure lifted from blacks to light mid tones ... as an alternative

Thank you Jon and Andreas.
@ Andreas -- She must have been there standing like that for abt 10-15 secs. At that time she was just establishing her territory , so was just confined to a small area. Will try and lift the blacks, but works for me as presented.

Love the direct stare and quizzical expression from this lady tiger. Good framing too and sharp where needed. Perhaps lifting exposure a bit won't hurt, I think Andreas is right. IMO those whites look a tad dull, could be brighter. Otherwise a well taken, well processed image, colours look good, beautiful pose. Very nice image Haseeb, love it :cheers:
Kind regards,

Hi Haseeb, good to hear she has now become a Mum, as she looks quite thin here.
Based on the techs, f/5.6, never a great fan at shooting wide open and you had plenty of ISO/SS. Nice head on shot, did you use a vignette???
