Unique lighting on this beautiful Cat Talat. Love the drama created by play of shadows and light. Forest feel is also enhanced by the light. The light emerging between two trees on the left seem to compete a bit for the visual attention with the tiger. I think vertical composition to avoid that would added to the image - just my thoughts not sure whether that was possible. Thanks for sharing this beautiful image..

Amazing image. Lovely light & nice eye-level perspective. The subtle darkness of shadow around the tiger gives the jungle feel (I should mention that I loved those dry leaves in front of the tiger). Nice subdued BG colours add to enhance the main subject. Apart from the lovely spotlight on the tiger, I feel the region which is 'not-tiger' - i.e. the BG, the FG - makes this image really special.
Agree with Ganesh on the bright region between the 2 trees in the BG competing for attention but on the other hand I feel a vertical crop may not give the same effect as the current one which is b'coz it may take away much of the BG which really adds to the image in this case.

I really liked how the tiger the apex predator settles in its fast disappearing home the forest, very unusual to see it in a setting like this, inclusion of all the elements and the low level perspective is unique here.

Very beautiful hide and seek feeling of this predator in the shady forest. Nice lighting and true colour forest colours. Thanks for sharing.

A beautiful forest feel Talat. Magnificient light and a killer looks is what makes this image for me. A try with a vertical composition would make it even better i suppose.

AH this is class image Talat. Lighting on the face is contrasting against the forest floor. The dry leaves, tinges of green and lovely brown wood all inter-play to make this image very very speacial! Beautifully exposed image...

Keeping it off-centre would have been even better :)
