    Default Tigress in Bandhavgarh

    This is taken at the famous Rajbhera Dam. I have other similar photographs of the tigeress walking on the wall, but this one I thought was a bit different as it looks a bit alert in its pose.

    Canon 50D, 100-400 mm L IS USM, f5.6, ISO 200, 1/640

    What a beautiful and peaceful scene. Agree with taking the subject off center, but the rotation gave a very tight crop for my taste and got rid of the reflection.

    Peter, at least on my monitor, whatever you did change the color of the entire image ever so slightly. It lost its punch - it appears a bit softer now and there isn't as much contrast in the cat's colors. ??
    Cheers, Jay

    I like the concentrated pose, and these guys have such wonderful markings and colours. Peter hit it right with regards to the comp.

    Lovely shot and like Peter's repost. About right. Can see what Jay means about the color and sat change. (It is an interesting phenomenon but not isolated to this site and is I guess, something we just need to adjust to).

    Great capture, nice reflection. I like Peter's repost - it still maintains a sense of environment and preserves the reflection while removing the distracting bush on the side.

    Wonderful capture of the majestic cat in it’s habitat. Agree with the others an off-centered composition would have added value to the image.

    What are the two metal "t"s? Each time that you re-save a JPEG, you lose quality. Peter, for my taste, you have overdone the crop with too much off the back and the bottom. You have clipped the REFL. Thanks for sharing.

    I like the original image more than the repost. Great shot. I like the walking pose of the cat and the reflection in the water.
