    Harshad,

    This looks pretty good to me, I would like too see a little more space above and a little less below.

    Whatever it is a classic.:D

    Lovely light here Harshad. A simple, yet effective composition which really works. I would love to see it with a pano crop taking off the lighter water even though it would mean cutting a tiny bit of the edge of the reflection. On my monitor it looks pretty strong, but may not be pleasing to anyone else. :)

    Hi Harshad Would go for less water at the bottom, closer to a pano would be nice. Makes the the tiger larger in frame and still get a good look at the pretty water !!! Sweet image !!!

    Like the eye contact. A longer focal length would have been better here.

    Sorry Harshad should have posted this yesterday.

    Composition wise and environment I think this is one of your best. The low POV gives a clear line and as the viewer, you are almost feel you are there taking the shot. I love the crouching stance, tongue lapping, eyes on you and the subtlety of the draped tail on the rocks.

    I think if you were to 'mask' and drop the exposure/gamma over the water and a slight tweak in curves you will find that you will get some more depth out of it. Not sure if in the processing the yellow of the water has added a slight cast over the rocks? Retaining where the Tiger is, I might just try a slightly tighter crop perhaps? Saying all that, a handsome image Harshad, are you sure your wife didn't take it? :D:D

    Very lovely image, Harshad. Steve's crop emhasizes the tiger. Love the pose and tail as mentioned. Well done indeed. TFS.

    Another beautiful image. I think Steve's repost is better as far as comp and color.

    TFS,
