    Hi Haseeb - Good eye contact and the colors look good again. However for me, the tiger is too centered in the frame and the road too dominant. I like animalscapes but this one isn't working for me. Sorry.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Thank you Rachel for your honest feedback .

    Under BPN's guidance i feel am looking towards colors in a different way . The other day i saw this image processed in the year 2012 and it looked a lot different than this especially the colors they were way off . So i am glad there is a slight improvement in that department for me. Thanks .

    Haseeb.

    Hi Haseeb, I might try a 16x9 and where the Tiger is bang in the centre, loosing some of the environment either side, as I like the way the road sweeps round. Then darkening (burning) the more fainter areas of the environment either side to bring back a continuity. As you had ISO, I do feel you could have gone to f/4 quite easily, without compromise, so not sure why not f/2.8?

    @ Steve : to me f /2.8 was always for more ss and avoiding high iso to reduce noise , i didnt had a good understanding at that time hence the f /2.8 . I still make mistakes by opting the f 2.8 even now , but i guess with more shooting and field time these mistakes will gradually subside.

    Haseeb, we learn from out mistakes, but we also can still make them in the field too, irrespective .

    Dear Haseeb,

    Wonderful sighting, been reading the comments above and not sure what crop to suggest but I guess if you played around you might find something that pleases you as well as your audience. I would perhaps lose some from the LHS because of the bright vegetation at the bottom but you could go either way. Love the colours and that pink sandy path the subject is walking on, what an amazing lush environment and a truly special capture, well done, and thank you so much for sharing!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Haseeb

    I really like this one, and it works for me. I have no problem with the sand/gravel road, it reminds me of the safaris I have been to. Good memories, but India and tigers is still on my list to do. This is a great inspiration. And colors is just wonderful. I would not like to crop it.
