Sunlight and Shadows

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Ranthambhore tiger reserve.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 24-105 F4 L IS USM at 88mm, ISO 400, 1/640, f7.1, full frame image.

I am not sure as to what is missing in this image. Let me have your thoughts.

Cheers,

The shadow of the tiger looks nice. Is the image a bit soft? Otherwise, I like this very much...may be a little cut-down on the space on the left side the tiger?

Nice walking pose captured. The raised paw adds interest. Agree with Bhargava, some less space on the left would have been good. The b/w treatment looks good. Thanks for sharing.

Bhargava,
Image is not soft. There is shadow on the eyes and face so it appears like that. I have checked at 100% it is focussed and sharp. May be I have to look at post processing it again to get a better b&w look.

Cheers,
