    Harshad, what a shot. Great eyes, both ears up, the paw, nice and sharp. Not to mention the paw and claw!I agree with Al on the bright area, but that is merely a detail on what is a brilliant tiger picture.

    Too cute. Love that right paw holding on. The repost looks identical to the original post :confused:

    Did you run noise reduction on the BKGR?

    Another fine photograph Harshad. Love the composition, background (especially with the brightness toned down). the interaction of the tiger with the viewer and as Grant said, those paws and claws … brilliant.

    Love the expression here. Great shot full of character. Like the repost. How close can you get to these tigers Harshad. Must have been very close if you just used the 300.

    Harshadbhai, lovely expression, and just love the eye contact. You have also exposed the colours nicely. Fine capture.

    Like the eye contact and the paw around the branch. Nice soft light as well.

    You've outdone yourself on this on, Harshad. Wonderful eyes! I agree with Al, calendar material.

    I would play around with pulling the light more into the face to make the eyes the undisputed
    center of interest ... something like this (also cropped a bit, top and bottom):

    Nice one Harshad. The branches provide a nice frame. I also like the paw around the stubby branch and the slightly visible claws.

    Very nice! I hear there are at least a half dozen cubs around right now. I wish I could go, but I was there in Jan 2008 and, having just bought two very expensive lenses, can't financially justify another trip so soon. :-(
