Critique my Tiger

This was clicked at Six Flags Park, Vallejo, CA. I am quite happy with the shot. But any pointers to how to nail it any better, next time will be much appreciated.
Thanks,

That is quite a shot! That body language says it all...and those fangs! Superb!

To me it looks unreal, like you have just taken a photo of your LCD watching Ice age 3. Lets have a look at yor exif! Or you have just stuck another head on the swimming tiger, edited with photoshop.

Fantastic action shot. The tiger's left legs are a little confusing, but the face and front paw are just stunning. Great capture!

I think your in the wrong section, Like maybe if you don't want critique dont ask for it!

If you would have just stopped at saying it looked fake then it would have been a critique. The problem is that you went on to accuse him of faking it. There's a difference.

Thank you.

"The tiger's left legs are a little confusing, " - This comment from Zenali is a critique, its solely aimed at making me understand how the shot could have been better.

"Or you have just stuck another head on the swimming tiger, edited with photoshop." - That didnt sound like a critique to me, since critique is aimed at letting me learn from your comment and better my shot, the next time I click it. Critique is not about making an accusation that I have cheated using photoshop. It was a direct attack on my credentials. As a photographer who has been in the field for a few long years, nothing is more hurting and derogatory than anyone making a direct such accusation, that I have FAKED, without even taking the effort to go to my flickr page and checking out the exif values.

And I am absolutely in the right place for critique, as I have learn a great deal from people in here. May be you should first learn what is critique and how to give constructive criticism.

Peace.

Ok kids.....................

I've seen a ton of shots like this one with the tigers underwater and am always amazed by them all.
The only things I see that is odd is the top part where it may have been the water moving. Doubt you could do anything to "fix" that but I figured I might point that out in case you get to do it again. And maybe, crop a tad bit off the one side so the tiger is filling the frame more.

I did post your exif information for you beause it asked for you to do so in the guidleines posted at the top of each page
