Re: Tigress in Monochrome.
Hi Ashish, very nice image
I'm sure it would look nice in color too. A faster shutter speed would have prevented the motion blur on the right front leg but I think it was a very instantaneous shot and the blur doesn't really matter as the tiger looks beautiful.

Re: Tigress in Monochrome.
Nice effort, needs a bit more cast shadow underneath to make her look grounded.

Re: Tigress in Monochrome.
Could you get away with a tiny bit more highlight brightness? What works well in colour often needs a little more contrast after being converted to monochrome.
Possibly a fraction 'tight' to the left side but not a serious issue, particularly if you had to avoid something which would have caused distraction.

Re: Tigress in Monochrome.
A very impressive image. Someone asked 'why monochrome?'. For me the answer lies in what I believe to be the fact, that this image shows the power and, indeed, intelligence of the creature. In a colour picture we would have seen the beautiful colours, but would have lost a lot of the power of this image.
