Beautiful image. Nice alert pose. I love how the one ear is flipped. Tigers are great.

Stellar Image ! I like how most of her body is hidden and the face just pops up.

Hi Harshad,

Very nicely composed (love the diagonal flow), great pose, and technically spot-on. Not much more to say...just a great shot. My only extremely small nit is that perhaps there's just a LITTLE too much foreground showing for my taste (tho' I see the issue with the tip of the tail).

You say:

So let us all come together and do something to save Tigers from being extinct

Any suggestions as to some actions that folks could take? Any good tiger-focused conservation groups? Any letters to write to help influence development issues/projects that may affect tigers? Let us know...ya gotta make it EASY for folks to help!

Cheers...thanks for sharing this image and message...

Brad

Really nice. I would agree with Brad that the foreground might be a little more than ideal for perfect balance, EXCEPT I would not mess with it because that would clip the almost hidden tail leading to the lower right corner. Super post...

Nicely done Harshad. I like the line created by the rock/tree, the tiger's back, and the FG and how it leads down to the tail.

Good shot! The tiger is very aware of you!

I like this one a lot Harshad. the diagonla line with the tail popping out is great. I like it as posted personally.

Majestic creature. I would try a different crop. I understand you cropped it this way to include the tail. In a sense, it was unfortunate that part of the tail was visible to you. I'm sure you would have cropped it differently had the tail not been visible and in my opinion it would be a stronger image if cropped tighter. It can still be done. If more of the body had been visible and the entire tail then I would be all for a crop like this. But it is personal preference and it is your image. Nicely done.
