Hi Sanjeev, great encounter, I assume he was just asserting his authority rather than being too close?
Techs look spot on and I really like the Tiger 'in stride'.
The trees acted like book ends I thought to frame the tiger. WDYT?
Approved, good call.
I'm back home tomorrow so will have another look, but I think without hurting the frame, you could loose a sliver off the foot, ie cropping on the tree baseline, as I find the OOF 'ridge' in the FG is I feel, a little distracting.

Hello Sanjeev,
Fantastic pose from this tiger, eye contact is superb. He looks quite big for a youngster still spending time with mom and his siblings
I really like your thinking in terms of composition. Steve is right, the OOF bit in the FG is a little distracting, so maybe try crop a fraction from below, near the base of the LHS tree? There's also a tiny green leaf that catches my eye, can you see it?Oh, I am just nitpicking now
Nice techs and you exposed very well. Colours look good and there's detail on the face of the subject, even in the shadow areas.
I have not tried anything with your image but thinking it might be possible to enhance further this wonderful 3D feel (which you already have by framing the subject in-between those tree trunks). Sometimes darkening or lightening the BG or the FG helps, maybe some NR to the BG, the tree on the RHS needs some attention too.
Let's see what Steve and the members say, I personally think you have a winner here. Those sparkling eyes and the growl, the expression from the subject make this image for me - wonderful work Sanjeev
Kind regards,

Hi Doc -- I liked he pose and the eye contact. Also the colours have come out quite well. And yes the trees are helping the frame nicely . I also agree reg cropping the Fg a bit , the ridge is a bit distracting . Doing some NR on the BKG might help in lowering the effect of the busy shrubs and heat haze. Also I think the blacks on its face a slightly heavy and affecting the details in that area . But a nice image nonetheless.
TFS !

Hi Sanjeev, having had a proper look, the colours to me look bang on, the only thing I would add to my original thoughts, is reduce the blue in the RH tree trunk.
Also I think the blacks on its face a slightly heavy and affecting the details in that area
I think Haseeb, with the strong light, you will generate deep Blacks here, albeit you could control it, however not to the point where it doesn't look right, but agree on some NR on the BKG.

Thanks Steve for having another look. I did reduce the blues quite a bit. You are right regarding the light Steve, it was quite bright.
