    Wow, Harshad, this is another spectacular one. I really get the playful sense as I look at it! I might be tempted to trim a bit off the top as the greenery on the far bank is a bit distracting to my eye. Is that one on the left eating veggies?

    I agree - an excellent image that really captures the action well. You lucky guy - we missed them earlier this year at Ranthambhore.

    What an experience to actually witness this, live!

    The eye contact of the righthand animal is great and I don't mind that I can't see the lefthand animal's face. I would crop a little from the right to better balance the image, and remove the little green thingy front and centre.

    I agree with John's comments.

    I know you can't; however, when you are shooting this playful cats, don't you just want to jump in and play with them?

    Your beautiful image gives us a sense of the moment.

    Cheers, Jay

    You really are witnessing some incredible stuff, Harshad! My goodness!!! Love the stance of both animals and the play fighting makes for a great behavioral image. I'd also crop in a bit to rebalance and get rid of the green stuff on the right.

    It would be nice to see the faces of the tiger cubs, imo :p Composition-wise, I would cut some of the bottom off. If I were to leave the grasses there, I would de-saturate and reduce their brightness somewhat.
