(W-repost) Looking back at 2012..........................

Sir,

The look is captivating. Deep orange coat of the Tiger in soft light really stand out.
Terrain seems to be Bandhavgarh .
Would like to see a bit more space in foreground.

Thanks for sharing

lovely look-back pose and the light was well handled!
I wish for more space on top and bottom but thinking this might be full frame?

Depth of field control makes this one stand out almost in 3-D! Great detail and rich colors, Jagdeep. Yes, I agree with more space if you have it, but this over-the-shoulder light pose is sweet as presented.

Very sharp image and nice head turn with eye-contact. Others have already mentioned the need for more room above and below.

I agree, that shot demands more overall space but this was indeed a full frame shot, as Morkel guessed it.
In wildlife, many times, it's a choice, whether to take, what you get or risk missing a shot, by changing lens, camera, setting etc. It was a momentary glance from the Tiger, I couldn't risk, changing the lens.
The technology comes to the rescue here, by using Content Aware Scaling in photoshop, I've added some canvas.

What a pleasing improvement, Jagdeep.

Definitely improved space above, but while at it, why not go the whole hog and increase it even more?

Love the attention that he is giving you.

I love the colors! Very beautiful picture!
