Vinay, good alert pose, and I like the DOF effect in this. He stands out nicely against the BG. I would maybe selectively sharpen his head, as it doesnt seem as sharp as the rest of his body.

Very nice capture! I love that inquiring stare, as in: "And what, pray tell, are you doing on my turf pointing that thing at me??" :D

The nice clean edges of the animal are easy to mask, so you can pop him away from the background a bit more.

[Steve Canuel]

Agree with Stuart's recommendation for a little sharpening on the head.

Really like the pose and the eye contact. The repost really makes the subject jump out.
