Nicely done but for the BKGR that is a bit busy for me. I might darken the pupils and lighten the irises a bit without overdoing it.... I am not sure but it might--based on the animal's eyes, need a bit of CCW rotation....

Hi - I love tigers and this is a nice shot. I agree with Mr. Morris that it seems a little crooked. I would also like to see more of the tiger's open eyes. I think you did an awesome job on the sharpness and detail.

Hi Sanjeev - another nicely captured and processed image with good detail and control of the exp. Good suggestions above by Artie on rotation and about the bg.

TFS,
Rachel

This is one beautiful tiger, Sanjeev! What an impressive fellow! I think you made the right choices when it comes to your camera settings, subject nice and sharp and the pose is great, the only criticism I have is the BG and of course I understand you probably did not have a choice, for your subject was in captivity. The colourful BG tends to compete with the tiger, unfortunately. It therefore takes away from his majestic stature and those lovely patterns on the fur. I am tempted to "paint" the BG a bit, perhaps a little green, a brush with soft light, do not know what is your take on interfering with an image to such extent but anyway I still love it, well done on capturing this and thank you so much for sharing it with us!

Kind regards,

Hi Sanjeev another beauty tiger shot.Do not mind that much about the BG , even i think it could better . Like the pose of the tiger . Only thing i would try is to make the whites a bit whiter, more clean looking.
