Great moment you caught in this photo. Like the detail you have in the cats face. IMHO the tiger drinking makes this image stand out. Thanks for sharing.

The look and the lapping tongue are quite nice Jagdeep. I think the fact that the reflection shows a need for a fair amount of ccw rotation makes it feel unstable, but that is an easy fix if you have enough file to avoid clipping the butt. Low light is very pleasing.

Hi Jagdeep,

As John points out the tiger drinking helps this image stand out. While I do agree with Lon about the rotation, overall I think the single thing that would have strengthened this image most would have been a vertical capture (or, if this is a crop and there's enough room all around, cropping it vertically).

Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Brad

Perfect moment - to have this big guy looking in your lens just when he's drinking, is lovely...

Grtz, Ingrid.
