    I really like the shot but I think it needs a bit more umph if you know what I mean, something along this direction perhaps, maybe raise the mid tones a fraction, I may have overdone it a tad?? Hope you don't mind my making an alternative for you to consider:

    Nice pose and gaze here, and light well handled. I like what Jonathan did but it may perhaps be a touch too "orange" now?

    I like Jonathan's repost for sure. Though I am not familiar with the colours in life, but the oomph is there for me.
    Great image and eye contact. Certainly probably the best anyone could do from a vehicle.
    Well done!

    Hi Sanjeev - Again nice to see the tiger out in the open and with good eye contact. I like what Jon has done but would probably opt for just a tad less oomph. Meant to say, also think you could have gone lower on ISO and ss.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Dear Sanjeev,

    I am jealous of your numerous tiger images:) Love the eye contact here, very much. As well as those huge paws! I quite like the vibrance in Jon's version but since I have not seen a tiger in many years I cannot be sure of colour ( I only saw two and they were captive, unfortunately)

    In terms of comp I personally feel there's too much FG, let us see what the others say?

    Otherwise a well exposed image, nice and sharp, and oh yes plenty of SS!

    Very well done, thank you so much for sharing

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Nice work Sanjeev. Nice stare you are getting (hopefully it's not thinking how tasty you would be). I think Jon is on the right track with some minor changes but the OP looked fine to my relatively untrained eye before I looked at his repost. Great encounter and pose. The composition works well for me.

    Hi Sanjeev, I like the snarl and the fact you can see all of the body and you caught him in mid stride. Agree on your own tech observations, better equipped for next time . I think you can afford to go a tad tighter on the crop and the OP does looks a bit 'mutated' in terms of colour. Using a Curve Saturation, Midtone Saturation, Midtone and a HL adjustments you start to get some richness back in. I also like the fact you have a shadow too, a nice touch IMHO.

    TFS
