    Sanjeev, that is a wonderful capture. You did an excellent job with handling the noise of the 7D at ISO 3200. Congrats. Loi

    Hi Sanjeev - The tiger certainly seems to be reacting. Another great expression. I felt the image was a little bright and thin. I dropped the exp by -.15 and then did a basic luminosity mask at 30%. I also dropped the blues because there was a slight cast to the whites of the face after the adjustments.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Rachel, I like the RP. I had already reduced the blues to some extent but guess it needed more. Your RP has shown how the image can be bettered. Thanks a ton for helping.

    Hello Sanjeev!

    I am rather jealous of your tiger, great sighting and good timing too, lighting conditions well handled and you processed well. I certainly like Rachel's final touches

    More tigers please!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Sanjeev this looks nice too, compared to the other frame even a bit better from aesthetic POV .
    Rachel summed up my first impression quite nicely and her RP is a step in the right direction.
    IQ does look quite good at this size for 3200 from the 7D.

    How was your setting in DPP 4 for luminance NR ? as standard ? if so i would lower the amount in DPP and if needed work more selectively within PS . The BG does look to smooth to me in parts .

    TFS Andreas

    Hi Sanjeev

    I really like this and prefer this before the tight crop version, and I like Rachels repost. I think it maybe could be taken a notch further, to make the tiger pop even more.

    Wow .. the expression of Tiger is priceless here. As suggested by Gregor, a little tighter crop would make the Tiger more prominent :). Thanks for sharing

    Nice view of the whole frame here Sanjeev!
    I agree with Rachel's assessment and like her repost, you could go even more on the midtone contrast.
    In RAW, I'd play with selective clarity brush adjustments to make the tiger stand out more...
