Here's the same photo with a square crop of the head. I've got more room around the whole tiger if it needs space anywhere.

Such beautiful animals. I like the full shot better. The crop puts him too much going "out of frame", while the other looks more natural. You mentioned more data, so might try putting some back on the left. Do believe that you could improve the image with highlights and shadow adjustments, as well as some selective high pass filtering.

I am with Dale on this one. I think the full shot is better. Waiting to see what small improvements Dale has suggested? Was this at the Cleveland Zoo? I was disappointed not to make it this fall but might get out that way when things start blooming in late spring.

I have to be difficult. I like the tight shot but perhaps a 8X10 with the extra space on the nose side. He/she is a bit tight ot the edge as shown. The full shot is great too I just prefer the other by a small amount. I think the other suggestions are good and will make this even better.

You took that with a 22mm lens? How close were you? When I first opened up your Square Crop, I thought it was a bit soft...then concluded it wasn't...and now am thinking it is looking soft because you may be at the resolution limits for that severe a crop. The original looks sharp to me except for the torso. It will be interesting to see what your interpretation of Dale's selective sharpening does to the overall effect. You've done a good job of cropping to mask the fact that this was taken in a zoo. Catching the head and hindquarters against dark shadow to emphasize the major outlines really helps this image. It does have the weakness of being a very centered image. Nice shot.

Great shot! I too agree on the full image :)

I feel equally about the two versions Elaine as they suggest different scenarios. It is all in the mind of course but the full length one (with the benefit of hindsight) looks as if shot in a zoo setting. On the other hand, the head shot shows a wonderful intensity of gaze as this magnificent beast stalks his prey in the jungle.

tigers are so beautiful. this is a great capture I agree a few more tweets will make it even better. I like them both but agree on the crop one I would give a little more room in front of his face if you have it.

I like them both but prefer the full body shot, because it emphasizes the power and beauty of this animal!! I would like to see the suggestions Dale made!! Every time I have ever been to the zoo the animals all end up facing the other way!

I did recrop the square to an 8x10, and recropped the larger image to give more space in front of the tiger. The thing that bugs me about the larger image is the back foot is turned in. So yes, this was taken at the Cleveland Zoo. It is a great zoo. Come and visit! Let me know if I need to make any more adjustments.
