Hello everyone. Thank you for all your comments and suggestions to my previous post, as always much appreciated .
I am posting a Tiger image , taken very recently in a nearby tiger reserve's buffer area. Monsoon ( Rainy season in Indian Sub continent) is just over and you can see how green it gets. I have tried to reduce some greens as it was way to vibrant.
We were very lucky to sight this young female lying around a small pond, lucky because the forest is densely vegetated and one can hardly see any animal in such lush greenery unless it comes out in the open. Plenty of water and cool climate makes sighting a tiger even more difficult but it was a very fortunate day for us.
I will also post some portraits from this sighting but like last seasons ending trip where I tried to capture more habitat shots, so again this time I continued with the same frame of mind and went wide to capture the environment. One big glitch in this frame was the Tiger facing in the other direction while I provided more space in the area where the pond was , so I had to flip the tiger in the same direction facing the pond. I hope it has turned out just fine.
Dpp 4.10, PSCC 2019, WB, curves, flipped the tiger , did some healing and cloning around it , selective colour, cropped from top and slightly from the bottom, NR, sharpening.
Canon 1DX MK II, Canon 24-105mm f4 IS II, HH.
ss 1/1250, f/5.6, iso 5000.
Looking forward for all your comments and suggestions, be it of any nature.
Haseeb.
