Ouchhhh!!! Of all places the tree had to be shooting out of her head :(

The rest of the image is beautiful, soft light, attentive look, even soft and likable foreground.
Was there a possibility for you to move to either side?

[Harshad Barve]

Thanks a ton for stopping Fabs, But no chance to move around as there were as many as 15-18 Jeeps shooting her
Will try to clone that but I am poor at it

Do you have Lightroom 2?. It should be not too difficult with the cloning and healing brush. Of course Photoshop can do that, too.

That said I like the image a lot. Your tiger images are always great. Keep them coming.

Basically I dont like cloning in Wildlife images and thats why I dont do it. It is highly impossible to get Tiger with clean and creamy BG

Your tiger images are always great. Keep them coming.

Thanks for appreciation

Wow, the first thing that catches my attention is the intense concentration in the eyes. The BG is sufficiently out of focus for me not to be upset by the tree as my attention is immediately drawn to the eyes and hunting position of the head. Another wonderful tiger shot!

[David Fletcher]

This is just fabulous Harshad! Agree worth working on, so did some to show what Fabs means. (Altered crop and added canvas to right to maintain balance). Great shot!!!!!!!

[Morkel Erasmus]

another beaut Harshad! Dave's repost works better for me but I understand that you want to keep the shot 'as shot'. :)

[Prakash Holekoppa]

wow...an amazing image Harshad.

You're very welcome. Such a cracking shot, and am in full admiration mode: :). Forgot to say used Artie's Quick Mask object removal technique.... (well worth it and very quick).

[Stu Bowie]

Harshad, I like the turned back look, and what great detail and colours you have captured here. Well done. Dave's repost works well.

[John Ippolito]

The look back, light and exposure are perfect. Both versions work well for me. Love the wiskers against the creamy BG. Outstanding image!
