Eye to Eye with the Tiger !

[haseeb badar]

Hello everyone. Thank you for all your comments and suggestions to my previous post, as always much appreciated.

Posting a Tiger image from my trip to Bandhavgarh, back in April 2019, badly missing the place. But we all are missing what we love to do and hope better days will soon arrive.

I will also try to be more regular here at BPN , things are very slow here and not many posts and comments, but appreciate the one who are keeping it going. Hope to see more posts and participation.

Looking forward for all your comments and suggestions , be it of any nature.

Hi Haseeb, like the HA and engaging stare. F/5.6 worked well, I thought it may have been at f/8. :cheers:

Hi Steve , thank you for your comments. Well. definitely i too would have preferred f/8 , but as always , this particular tigress just suddenly started walking and there were few vehicles jostling for space and hence the techs, had no idea where she would move or do next.

I was thinking it was good for f/5.6, yet has the look of f/8.

[haseeb badar]

Yes , it has come out well at 5.6 but as things unfolded I thought, “should have stopped down, “ but had no time. But all is well that ends well.

Colours and details look excellent, you just cannot ignore those eyes either, a very engaging image, well done.

Thank you Jon, much appreciated.

Beautifull shot Haseeb, I like the eye contact, the intense look and the ears almost turned back. I seem to remember that when the ears of a tiger are turned back so that the white triangle (?) or spot is visible on each then its getting kranky. You composed it well, the line of the slightly bent neck leads the eye to the tiger's face.

Definitely Dan, i thought she was a bit apprehensive with all the crowd around but she went with her business. thanks for your comments.

That's some eye contact for sure. Detail and framing are spot on for me.
