Nice image. Slight head turn would have been even better. The texture in the tree has come out well. Wish you had better light. Too often we miss clicking these, as we move ahead in search of the tiger. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice shot with pleasing saturation and compo. Loved the way you have included the tree trunk. Texture has come out well.

Agree about head turn. Head looks bit un-sharp on my monitor. May be focus point was towards the body (?). You can do selective NR to further smoothen the BG.

Nice shot. Wish I get one like this someday

Nice shot praveen. You caught him enjoying his breakfast (looks like termites on the menu) .The Tree seems to be a favourite haunt of this guy.TFS

Nice composition. The background is nice and the details on the trunk look good. Nice colours. Thanks for sharing.
