He does look quite sleepy after the heavy meal :). Its good that the grass blade is not blocking the left eye. Nice composition. Thanks for sharing.

Good to see a tiger resting peacefully. If there were more light, then I would have suggested a narrow aperture.

Bibhav,
Does this remind you of college days? Atleast, I can recollect some of the classes during our MBA days when it was a struggle to keep your eyes open.

Cheers,

Nice image Praveen. Sure does look drowsy... I like the composition. I might experiment with showing a bit more habitat here. Thanks for sharing.

Sabyasachi,
It sure reminds me of the post lunch sessions. And ironically all the profs who induce sleep would have their classes scheduled then... :-)
