    Hello Haseeb,

    Wonderful capture, this works for me on all counts, from comp to colours to that raised paw, eye contact, everything.
    The pink light and hazy BG so lovely, superb POV

    I might have missed out on a lot of your posts during my absence, but to me this is your best from what I have seen so far - congratulations!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Haseeb - This is very nice and you handled the mixed lighting well. If it were mine I would give it just a tad more punch.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Love this one Haseeb! For me this has some of the best processing touches you've delivered so far. Delicate, nicely balanced and pleasing to the eye.
    The low angle, diagonal path leading line and the key lighting on the subject makes it pop. I might consider a slight crop from top and RHS?

    Hello Haseeb,

    This is a beautiful image of a beautiful animal. I like the low POV and the tiger's pose. Well done.

    Best Regards,

    Hi Haseeb, you nailed it, techs spot on.
    Just a slight tweak of the White/Saturation & BKG and it pops very nicely, a cool image for sure.

    As others have already said, this is a really good shot Haseeb. The lines the tiger is following in the path lead the eye in nicely and just having that raised paw shows off the power. Steves RP adds some nice pop.

    Haseeb, that light on his face is just stunning. I've enjoyed your Tigers for a goodly while now my friend ,it is always exciting when I see one in thumbnail size,almost like opening a gift, This has to be up there as one of the most stunning for me,there is nothing to change for me the path leads me to him and beyond Tiger is caught by your skills perfectly and your processing looks so subtle so natural.

    An absolute belter of an image Hasseeb, love it !!!!!

    Well done buddy really really well done

    The comments sum up what a cracker of an image this is. Everything just seems to compliment everything else and the result is an image of true beauty

    I love the look of disdain on the face here Haseeb, nice low POV, dappled light and the raised paw, plus Steve's RP has taken this to where it needed to go.

    Hey Haseeb what a cool frame of this male tiger .
    I like the wider look and the head on approach , the winding road is perfectly leading in and out of the frame .
    I think the OP is a tad too soft in tones and color depth , Steve has improved things but he went a tiny bit too far from my POV .Just my thought, but for sure a matter of taste .
    You have nice detail in the tiger and sharpness does look good.

    Nice work on safari ....

    TFS Andreas
