Dear All,
This image is of the same tiger that I had uploaded in B&W. Uploading the colour version for comparison.

Saby, firstly, with regards to your B&W version of this image, congrats on reaching the semi's of your photographic competition. I feel this has much more impact in colour, and he stands out very well against the BG foliage. Good direct eye contact, and I would consider maybe cropping some off the top to form more of a pano crop, to suit his lying posture.

Hi Sabyasachi

Very good shot of the King sitting.
Left hand tree does not add anything for me
I would go for some crop, and adding contrast

These all are my opinions & to suite my taste

There needs to be more space in front of the tiger and less behind him as mentioned. Setting the tiger in the frame this way gives it a very crowded feeling in front.

I like this one better. It really gives me a sense of jungle habitat with the BG bamboo/bushes. Might need a slight boost in contrast but not too much. Congrats on your competition.
