Hi Sanjeev - Techs, colors and tones all look good. I understand it's more a behavioral image but I still want to see more of the eyes. It is typical cat behavior though to raise their head and bask in the warm sunlight.
Hi Sanjeev -- Nice colours and details in the subject and also a typical cat pose. That Oof twig in the FG is bothering me. The whites on the cheek looks a bit recovered ( greyish ).
Sanjeev, you had some great tiger sightings and I've been enjoying seeing them. I too think it would be good if there was more of the eyes visible in this shot although I understand that may have been quite a different shot. Good that you have the head clear in this image, detail is great and your handling of tone and colour looks pretty good to me. The image is fairly busy but I guess that's the environment you were working in.
Colours look better in the frame Sanjeev, but feel the framing needs to have moved down. Going to f/5.6 may have helped to knock back the BKG here, or a simple PS adjustment to create better separation? I might add a little Tonal Curve in PS just to add a hint of punch.
The squinting eyes is very reflective of how we work when you look into the sun, so no problems for me re visible eyes.
