Nice shot, Nazir! The spraying water droplets convey a sense of dynamic tension and really make the shot.

The only thing I'm not wild about (pun intended) is the horizon line running through the exact middle of the frame. That's always a turn-off for me and a lot of other photographers I know. I probably would have crouched closer to the ground, which would have made the tigers appear taller and more imposing, while at the same time pushing the horizon line lower in the frame. Then again, the surrounding environment might have made such an angle logistically impossible. Only you were there and know what you had to work with.

Great job, nevertheless!

Nothing wrong with the horizon. It is really subdued in this shot. The horizontal steak of lighted green grass is the primary background element and is positioned just fine. If the horizon were lower, the strip of green would be too low in the frame and unbalance it. Sometimes the textbook ideals can be ignored.
