Hi Sanjeev -- Definitely I liked this better ! I think you might have posted this sometime last year if I am not wrong but anyways this is a good image considering the light and ss , i think you got away with it but this is with most of the Tiger sightings and I am pretty sure had it been now you would have raised that iso to much higher levels . But overall i liked the flehmen response and lovely looking Tiger , colours look good and unlike the previous image this image has better contrast .
TFS !

Thanks Haseeb. I had posted a similar image but different frame earlier. The Tiger was facing more towards the camera then. This is bit more oblique HA. Glad you liked this better.

You've down well here Sanjeev, considering the not ideal balancing knee act, did you not have access to a bean bag? Certainly a higher ISO would have been the way to go,
I gather light was at a premium?

Hi Sanjeev - Certainly looks like a healthy looking tiger. I like that you can see the taste buds on the tongue. You definitely did well at the slow ss. Please don't forget to include EC when it is available. The EXIF shows +1.67 so it must have been low light even though the tiger came out a bit more. I agree with Andre that the short dof and high ISO has cost you some detail. I do find the brighter leaf coming from the jaw distracting. Andre has cloned it out. Up to you whether that is something you want to do or would prefer to lessen its impact in other ways. I like Andre's crop alternative.
TFS,
Rachel

Thank you everyone. Andre, your RP is excellent. Thanks for your inputs, will work accordingly. Rachel, yes I intentionally over exposed due to low light, will add that info in future. I intended to ETTR but may have gone a bit too far without checking histogram. These moments are so fleeting that I seldom think of checking it in fear of losing a rare moment.
Just to share with you all, the worlds first white tiger (albino) safari has just been opened in Madhya Pradesh in India. A rare chance for us to see this unique variant in the wild. Till now white tigers were only seen in captivity.

Great sharpness for the SS used!
I like Andre's crop but also don't mind your OP presentation. Would have been worth if going to ISO6400 here for more DOF or SS...but you did well nonetheless.

Hi Sanjeev, love the intense aggression shown here, and excellent detail on the tongue. Great work with such a slow ss, and I quite like Andre's additional sharpening.
