    Default Awoken tiger

    Attached Images Attached Images
     
    This is the same tiger from the 'Sleeping tiger' I had posted a while back, however the sound of Sambur deer close by alerted the dozing tiger. As the deer slow approached, unaware of the tigers presence he/she became more focused and poised. Ready for the ambush!!!

    I have left it 'as is' purely because of editorial use, but some my prefer a tighter crop from the top?

    You've got a lovely low angle on this, and the bg is lovely. There is nothing wrong with the space above. Overall, a lovely image! :)

    Steve, super low perspective, and I like the raised leg, ready to stand up. I like the soft light, good natural colours, and maybe just a tad off the top will work. Well captured.

    I like the low angle. I am pretty fine with the space at the top. Some more space infront would have added to the image as well. Overall, a fine image. Thanks for sharing.

    Wonderful tiger shot. I like the cat's alert pose. The room at the top looks perfect for me, I wouldn't crop.
    Great light. I like the colors in the tiger's fur.

    Hi Steve,

    Conventionally some of the top is "correct". This is one that breaks the rules in my opinion as the background adds to the overall image in many ways.

    Cheers
