Greetings from the Critique Club!

First off I have to say I have some prejudice towards this picture because I absolutely adore tigers. Rotties are okay, especially when a puppy but tigers get me every single time. But I will try to be a little objective when critiquing this shot. :)

I love the idea because there is so much natural beauty in animals of all species. The shot is overall very appealling but just a quick glance tells me that it's off for some reason. The color, the balance both seem a bit off. Upon closer inspection I see the color of the grass and the dog seem perfect but the tiger seems very muted for some reason. Now I know that baby tigers are not as vibrant as the adults but this one seems really muted to me.

The cropping also leaves me wanting more. Cutting off the end of each animals is cruel and mean! Just kidding! ;) But I would like to see the whole tail, not just the middle part and the missing paws on the dog, while giving you a line in and out of the shot makes it an incomplete shot to me. I would have rather seen the whole animal. But that's me. Please remember that all comments given here are strictly my personal opinion and meant to help.

Good Luck in future challenges.
