    Harshad,

    OK this may have been better without so much grass especially around the head, but that is nature for you. I would crop from the top to remove the trees.

    Hi Harshad, the re post works better without the distracting items above and less space, however for me the composition isn't quite there and I'm not sure how you might tackle it, will have a think. Because of the tall grass, the clarity & detail is more defused and I find the black markings very strong, set against the pale/light colours of the setting, nothing you can do. Saying that, I do feel it has an almost illustrative quality.

    Still can't get enough of these magnificent animals.

    Harshad,

    The repost is better, but I would have preferred more off the top, leaving the walk into space intact, almost a pano.Sorry for not making myself clear, it must be because my head has been boiled for a month.:D

    Harshad, I think aesthetically I would agree with Ken to turn the tiger into more of a pano. Definitely remove the trees but keep the length of the image for the tiger to walk into. I agree with Steve's comment regarding the illustrative nature of the image. It is very beautiful and the grass has a fine, delicate look to it and I don't mind that it is over the tiger. Artistically I think this one has a lot going for it … the kind of image I would have a wonderful time playing with. Well done.

    Harshad - I agree with Ken, Steve and Hilary. I wonder if taking some from the bottom too, to make it even more of a pano, would work.

    My first thought was crop into pano and get rid of the trees up top and you did that in the repost - that really strengthened the image.

    The crop is much better Harshad and I think an even tighter crop might work.
