    I quite like the color as is, maybe it looks overdone because of the dark BG. Slightly over sharpened and I would take a touch of the bottom if it was mine...Nice one

    Another good lo angle POV Sagar, but the main issues have been covered above, but as per the previous image you need to look at your sharpening technique. I wonder also if you were just to drop the brightness too, as it does jump out at you a little, where the conditions look quite dark from the undergrowth and the colours would be a lot more subdued? Also depending on how you feel and your skill in PS, but I would suggest the removal or certainly toning down of the rock just at the Tigers forehead.

    Late to the party here Sagar. I agree that it looks oversharpened, but I like the perspective and I especially like how it pops from the dark surroundings.
