    Beautiful pose with great detail. I'd blur the little grasses coming out of her body (lower front leg, back) and destat and tone down the bright green in urc.

    Fantastic pose, Harshad.

    Even when she's 'relaxing,' you can tell she's still on full alert.

    I am beginning to run out of what to say on these images Harshad, now there is a first!:D

    I really like the pose and a rather unusual angle too, v good, with an excellent POV. Agree about toning down some of the saturated 'hot spots' and might be tempted to do a little 'gardening' with some of the twigs etc?

    All the best

    Well done. I like the sharpness on the head and clean BG.

    Brilliant shot Harshad bhai. TOTALLY disagree with suggestions above. One thing that worries me and has held me back from participating fully here is that I disagree with the forum objective. In my view, the emphasis is to critique which ends up in sterilization. Your image is fabulous. How many suggestions to tweak this, tweak that. bit of gardening? all guilty. How many togs do you really see get into the BBC Wildlife Photographer of the year from these forums. NOT MANY.... why is that? Creativity is cloned out. how many would have tweaked Ajit's Leopard. 90%? 100%. He didn't. Who is the wiser? ```need `i say any more.

    No nits from me, other than the title which should I think be surveying rather than patrolling.

    David raises some interesting points, some of which I tend to agree with.

    I am 100 % agreed with Davidbhai here, Not a big fan of cloning ( I am poor in cloning too ) and I love my tiger images with habitat showing , How many times you get these big cats in open and with studio BG , may 1 out of 100 , they love small bushes and Lantanas and i think we should live with that ,
    Most of the time you will get shot with eye contact and OOF grass blade in front of face:D

    Thanks guys for suggations and comments

    ps , Davidbhai , I am missing your postings here

    What a great profile. I like the soft, warm light, the splashes of green in the BG, and the way the body leads the eye to the head. Nicely colored and detailed as well.
