    Much prefer this one Harshad, a good relaxed pose and tranquil setting. The dominant tree in the foreground doesn't worry me either.;) I thought of cropping the tree so it ends the frame, however this just confines the image too much. Might tone the green of the foliage down a faction.

    Looking at it again, did you blur the foreground? The reason I ask is the tree is pin sharp, but the foreground is blurred, however both are on the same plane?

    Thanks Harshad, I now see:) perhaps if the tree wasn't sharpened then your eye might only be drawn to the tiger, the focal point?

    Harshad,

    I agree with Steve on this, I think no sharpening or just a little on the tree would improve this allready great image.

    Hi Harshad,

    You have done well with the limitations of not being able to move the tree. Reducing the sharpness on the tree will help. I hope it turned to look towards you at some point during your stay when a vertical comp with diffused BKGR would have been possible.

    I like the sharpness of the tiger, the BG colors, and the tiger's focus on something besides you (although a head turn toward you would've been pretty good too). At first view, I thought the tree on the right was too prominent (wide and dark) and distracting from the tiger. But after noticing the further, OOF tree, it seemed to open up the image a bit and give the tiger more room to look into. I agree with others on a little less sharpening on the near tree and I might try less of a crop for more of a "looking down from the hillside" feel. Will remove repost upon request.

    Hi Harshadbhai. If that's what you like, that'll do nicely sir. End of the day, it's gotta be about what we like not where you'll get most votes. No offense meant to anyone. Re the tree, there are times when I might sharpen and times not, and whilst the detail is remarkable, on this occasion, by sharpening, it does compete for attention. :)
