    Hello everyone. Thank you for all your comments and suggestions to my previous post as always , much appreciated.

    Posting an image from On the Rocks series, this time we tried to approach the tiger from a different side of the hill as it allowed us to get closer than the previous location. Liked the settings of the rocks and dry grass , giving it a typical summers feel.

    Hi Haseeb, lovely, tranquil image of this most majestic of all big cats.

    Techs look good and PP is improving, is it shot early morning or late afternoon, did you add a vignette? Personally I might crop a little at the foot and some off the RHS, but reserve judgement, just feel it's a little too central. I also think you could up the exposure too, plus bring up the whites/HL's a little just for some 'pop'? Again, you were there so...

    Thank you Steve. Framing option could be tried , but central placement gives that balance IMO. Whites / Hls , i tried to up them in PP , will see how it goes with another attempt. Very slight vignette added.

    This was one of the most fulfilling sight , to see a tiger relaxing in the evening light in very nice settings of the park.

    Looks good to me, I would however suggest a little off the RHS.

    Quite nice. Like how the tiger is framed by those grasses. Image quality looks good.

    Nice work indeed Haseeb, a magical sighting with great eye contact.

    Took the liberty of a quick edit on this, by removing a slice off the RHS and lower rock and ran a selective curves layer on the Tiger and also reduce the grass BG with a -20 Clarity adj (in ACR), granting the Tiger a bit more pop.

    WDYT

    Cheers
    Marc
