| Don't know if you pop in from time to time - but I keep looking to see if your portfolio tiger shots are back, or any new ones. They're memorable. |

::: Critique Club :::
Hi, I am Kari and am fairly new to the critique club. This is probably one of the more controversial pictures in this challenge, so is going to make an interesting critique.
You have received a lot of comments, and I have taken those into account in this critique.
First Impression - the most important one:
Wow, this is so very lovely. I think that the only issue is meeting the challenge, the title does that for you - but really only just.
Composition:
It's on thirds, and it has reasonably sharp colours. You get the feeling that he is just waiting for something to happen. Whens lunch?
Subject:
The subject is beautiful and well worth sharing, if not in the challenge then through your portfolio.
Technical (Colour and light):
It may take a little more sharpening, but this will also sharpen the background, it may make the snow "pop". So really is up to you, it works as it is, and may also work with sharpening.
To grow its vote?:
Meeting the challenge helps, I think that is the main reason you have been voted down. If this truely had met the challenge according to the views of the voters I think it would be top 5 material.
Summary:
I think it is an wonderful shot. Thank you for providing the photo details and photographers comments, which help in critiquing, I still feel cold with you spending so long in the cold!
I just hope that my thoughts help you.
If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.
Cheers
Kari |

| I gave it a six, zero of possible five points for meeting the challenge, five of five points for quality of the shot, and a bonus point for making one of the most beautiful web reduction shots I have ever seen, just an amazing image. |

Good capture, as is this portfolio one; 
I gave this a 2 - didn't meet the Challenge strongly enough in my opinion. As good a shot as this is, the Challenge 'weight' got priority for me. edit: wording & after reading your comments (in the thread) I can make more of a connection, but alas, the 'comments' are not there whilst we vote. Also, this isn't a 'witch hunt' (although if it is, I say the voters are burned at the stake first, then the photographer, but that's just my opinion). Basically: you submitted a good 'long shot', the voters 'used the scale as they wanted', that's it. It's the 'age old debate' here at DPC, or at least one of them. edit #2 - condensed

| lmao, awsome! amazing shot, but you have to find it funny... just a bit, lol. Well deserving of the 6, but if it had actually met the challenge, i would expect maybe even a 7... very nice image! |

| I like this photo a lot, but I don't feel that it fits the challenge. The only connection to the challenge seems to be the title. |

| An excellent tiger photo that you should be very proud of, but it "oops" is created in the title, not in the photo itself. |

| I think this is a wonderful animal portrait - the colors are great. On the flip side though, for me, it's a bit of a stretch for the oops challenge without the benefit of your title. |

| This is an amazing photo, I'm going to vote on it like it wasn't in a challenge, because I don't see how it fits the oops! category, but it still is a great shot. |

| Its a nice photo, but it doesnt seem to meet the challenge. It relies on the title and not on the actual subject to represent 'oops' |

| Ok, how did you capture the snowflakes. Everytime i try, they don't seem to appear... i use fast shutters and high iso... don' t get it.. maybe it's because it's usually a cloudy white sky..idk but def. a good image stunning in its color and composition, but i can't give it a 10 because i don't see the opps... weather is not something that makes me say opps or something like that. However, dont take it to heart, because this is an awesome photo, much better than any amateur like me could capture. 9! |

think about this border again (at least its drop shadow part), as for me it draws attention from the otherwise great picture
"oops" given by the title only -- again |
