    Beautiful image especially capturing the tiger staring at the lens at eye level. I like the tigers in the repost but the background becomes too intense - might be worthwhile altering just the tigers so they are distinct from the background.
    It's a wonderful shot and composition especially considering how difficult tigers are to find in the wild - congratulations

    How fortunate you are Sabyasachi, to have an opportunity to see and photograph these beautiful animals. I agree that possibly somewhere between your version and Harshad's repost you may find a sweet spot where the animals have a bit more pop, without intensifying the background too much. I like the composition, and of course in the best of all possible worlds, both animals would be looking at the camera. All in all, I like it a lot. Congratulations!

    Cheers!

    Harshad,
    Haven't missed a date with her in water in the last 5 years. :D Thanks for the repost.
    I haven't changed the colour temperature or contrast. I didn't want to make it contrasty as the scene was not like that.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    Lovely image, I like the reflections and the repost just a bit better. Quite a few photogs got this pose, I suppose. Have seen some other versions of this frame from some guys in India.

    HI Sabyasachi
    I like the angle of view and eye contact. The popped up repost sure works a treat mate. Thanks for sharing. :)

    Hi Sabya, great sighting, and I like the low angle in this. Good eye contact, sharp, and like their enviroment. The reflection adds to the image, and I would maybe take a bit off the top.

    Dear All,
    Thanks for your comments.

    Stuart,
    On hindsight may be I should have composed with less from top, so that the standing cubs reflection would have also come.

    Alfred,
    Normally, I would have kept less space on the left. However, this cub was looking so wanted to give some space for the cub to look ahead as well. A few people have told me that less space on the left would have been good.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    Fabulous shot. Like the repost but feel there lies some balance somewhere between.

    Saby,

    Love the look of the crouching tiger. I suggest crop from top.

    I like the crouching pose and the reflection. I also like the surrounding habitat and the way the color of the fallen leaves matches the tiger's. I'm okay with the one looking away although eye contact with that one too would've been a nice little addition. Although I also like to add a bit of contrast and color in my photos I find your's to look very natural.
