Interesting image, Swapnil.
For some reason my eyes refuse to stay around the softer parts of the image and instead moves down to the corner where the paws are seen.
Couple of thoughts running through my mind:
- to crop off / exclude the paws from the frame
- or would it have been good if the paws were blur / out of focus too?

Thanks kaushik, I really wanted that viewers attn is only on paws there, Thts why I called it presence.. Paws, as they r only sharp thing in pic, I felt they conveyed its presence

Ok. I see your point

Swapnil, I find this image can be impactful, if you change the idea of presence to the reflection of the tiger rather than the paws. The issue with the paws is they are way out in the frame and other elements act as distraction to reach there. If this were mine, I would crop the paws and guide the viewers attention to the tiger's reflection. I took the liberty to rework this image and post my take into the illustration forum. Hope you don't mind that. Please take a look.

Like the idea, Swapnil! I too agree with Ramesh on the crop! Though I'm not in favour of monchrome for this image. I would probably increase the contrast a little bit if this was mine. TFS

thanks ramesh and prasanth
just saw the illustration [ic, and now i get an idea of how removing paws helped , thanks a ton
also tried increasing contrast , both have totally different moods, and i kinda like both

Very Interesting... The focused paws are taking away a lot of attention though... Would love to see one with tighter crop ie excluding the paws... TFS
