Harshad,
I like the angle of this shot. I wish the tiger would have been a few inches to the right, so that the head would have been completely lit. This image would have been great if the tiger had turned its head to the other side.

Vertical is the right format for such a pose. I would have also tried a version with less space at the bottom and more at the top. A shot with the 1.4x TC for a closer version of the face would have been nice as well. Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Hi Harshad,

One more lovely photograph :). Loved the head turn and the inquisitive look. The vertical composition adds to the photograph.

Seems the tiger is very happy with you, you got so many great photographs :-)

Since we are brothers:p, I took the liberty to post another version, see if you like it.

Changes:

Removed the blueish cast... increased color temperature
Increased contrast, blacks
USM on the overall image (maybe I overdid it)

Cheers,

Kiran

PS: Agree with Sabyasachi about the space on the bottom, get rid of it !! Also, the bokeh of the 600 f/4 is not too impressive...maybe that guy was right ;-).

Lovely work Kiran, contrast and tones of tiger is perfect, just green looks bit oversaturated...

Bokeh of 600f4 is not impressive? ;) Whoever has said that has got super critical eyes. :D May be Hawk eyes? :D
