Lovely play of these splendid animals, but a little dark on my monitor.

I'm envious. You are so lucky to be able to photograph these beautiful animals.

What a sighting. Congrats on that and on a great image.
I would have prefered a little more room, especially on the left and some space between the head of the "hunter" and the back of "hunted". But that is just wishes. It is a spledid image as is.

Jagdeep, what a fantastic thing to see. So many times all these big cats do is lie around.
The lighting looks natural but the overall image seems dark. I would not usually advocate tampering too much with a natural looking image but because the background is quite busy I think that if you could lift the colour of the two tigers so that they stand out better against the background it would create even more impact.

Hello Jagdeep

Great to see them running! Seems early am with that beautiful lighting! Maybe dark but the rim lighting separates them from bg. I enjoy the mood implied!!
Would have been cool to have backed off some and get their reflections in the water!!
Very Sweet!!:)

Jagdeep, how often does one get to see them, and make images of them ...hats off ..a tad bit space in the front of them would have made this even better...well done

Wonderfully playful image Jagdeep, and well captured. The lighting is beautiful although I too would have preferred if the shot was not quite so tight in the frame. Thanks for sharing.

cheers

Thanks friends!
Agree that it needs more canvas on left side, it can be added. Keeping two tigers running in the frame was quite a task and this is full frame.

Nice work capturing them both running. Could use a little more room behind, but the tail is all there! It is apparent how they could blend in with the vertical stripes in this sort of habitat.

I love that you caught them in two opposite striding postures...and kept the tail!
