Looking to composition, surroundings, curves, gradient, sunlight. Its truly a first class shot.
I am first time watching 'KM 332', instead of just '332'.
Note that, surprisingly 'Z' curve (on side line) is there on up-gradient,
obviously more fuel consumption here as compared to that for straight line.

Sagar no issues at all. You are also right that looking at your Palasdhari snap's EXIF detail's and Raj's snap also having a similar compression effect, I mentioned it as 75-80mm.
@ Shanx, I will have to post these details in Groups as it will be too big to explain it.

Excellent. The Tiger looks aggressive and ready to pounce any moment.

Anamitra, the Sony Alpha A200 IS an SLR.

High ISO shouldn't have anything to do with color accuracy.

@Arzan - If you don't mind..!!
@Shanx - If I am correct. He must have guessed from this (http://www.irfca.org/gallery/openline/palasdhari09/Konark.JPG.html)
