Hi Ritesh - Please don't forget to include the ss and also to give us a brief description of the pp involved including crop or ff. It's interesting to see the tigers in the water and the way the tail curves up and out of the water is great. Obviously, it would be better if the second tiger wasn't there but that's probably one of the things that makes the sighting more memorable. For me, the image is too saturated. I would drop the saturation a fair amount if it were mine.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Ritesh, I appreciate this was at the start of your Tiger journey and as I've said before, always great to see a Tiger, however personally I do feel it's a bit lost in the overall framing and having the second Tiger without showing the face is a little distracting. Having either a single Tiger or some playful interaction would have been better. As presented I feel, if the IQ allows, then I would crop tighter, but still retaining the format.
lets see more Tigers please.
TFS

Ritesh this must have been a dream to actually spend time with this incredible mother and her kids,I can see why this encounter might live with you for a long long time,it would stay with me forever! It's such an unusual frame Ritesh thanks so much for sharing it. I guess I'd like a lower POV and for you to have been closer,but things are not always so straight forwards with wildlife(which is also the joy of all this for me).
thanks for sharing this we have both enjoyed: it's almost as though there is an invisible mirror behind Maya's head
take care

Hi Ritesh
Love the Moment with Maya& her girl- power, strength combined with concern for her daughter.
Heard how difficult shooting conditions around tigers are in their natural habitat...
Was this a big crop, how far were you from the subjects?
Agree on Sats, see a bit of Cyan/blues creeping in. Would do a sat layer and a another round of sharpening on Maya's face.
Hope it helps...

Hi Ritesh -- I agree with what has been said above . For me it too saturated and appears a bit of a heavy crop . I too see some cyan/blue creeping in on the ears and tail .This was the golden period of Tadoba and tourists and photographers had a gala time , thanks for bringing back the memories .

Dear Ritesh,
Incredible sighting of those two tigers swimming side by side! I think you are so fortunate, my friend:) Indeed a fun image but also an interesting behavioural capture, should you get hold of someone doing research on the species at this location this frame would be much appreciated, I am sure...
Ritesh, had you been closer to get a nice close-up of lovely Maya and her young, this would have been a smashing shot. Not sure the frame can handle a tighter crop though. I think you extracted as much detail as you could with PP work, I tried to do an RP but sadly did not get much further. Some of that emotion is lost, as one cannot read facial expression from the main subject, despite the eye-contact. Techs look ok to me, OP a bit orange in terms of fur, RP better. Viveza can be quite extreme, I would rather experiment with Levels or Curves in Photoshop if I were you.
This is one of those captures you will always treasure. I do suspect you have more in those folders though? Any close-ups? Some play between mom and young? I certainly look forward to see more from you, thank you so much for sharing - appreciate it
Kind regards,

A special sighting to saviour for sure Ritesh, well seen 
agree on saturation and a tighter crop if this is F/F? Do you have any with both facing you in the water?

Kind regards,
First of all thanks Garbriela for your replay ... and sorry for late replay ...
There is restricted area near water holes ..... the forest department allows to one spot from were you can see both parts of water hole .... from that spot the water hole distance is around 60 feet .... but you can't step out the jeep or go to near by jeep for better view or angle ..... so thats we really can't move much .... but i have beautiful collection of maya and her siblings while they out of that area or on the main road of the forest.
My next post of young maya to maya As a mother of three cubs and portrait of her ..... I will first post her image as portrait after that her cubs playing around water hole .....
yes i have too many images of maya from her age as 6 months cub till to now she is around 4 years, most of the images still to process .........
