You don't Scare me ;-), a photo from New York, Northeast

Photographer's Note

Bengal Tiger cooling off the Summer heat. This picture was taken in Bronx Zoo in New York City. When I took this picture, I was not aware of the Thirds rule. Not sure if I would have got a better picture that way.

Nobody has marked this note useful

Good title, Supreeth.. in fact, he looks bored to death.. or maybe sleepy after a big lunch. You got him in a nice light and in good surrounding color. I would prefer that he was not so centered in the photo and that we had the rest of his reflection.

Nice, job.. Enjoy your evening. And WELCOME to TE!

The thirds rule is not hard and fast. However, in this photo you could say that you have 'water', 'rock', and 'above the rock', which are almost in equal parts anyway!!

I would lose the date imprint on future photos though.

Hi Supreeth
Welcome to TE,This is a wonderful image,Many great photographers have produced some stunnig images which sometimes ignore the rule of thirds completly.
You might have chosen to use the camera with a portrait angle and included the full reflection also,But still this is a nice image.
