[haseeb badar]

Hello everyone.

Posting another tiger image in continuation to the series. Image taken back in apr 2019 at Bandhavgarh . Sighted this big female on a cloudy morning relaxed and nicely positioned near a stream.

DPP 4.12, PSCC 2023, WB, curves, selective colour, one round of NR, slight canvas ext at the base, sharpening.

Canon 1DX MK II, Canon 500mm f4 IS II, Bean Bag support.

ss 1/1000, f/5.6, iso 2000.

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

Haseeb.

I like the angle and the relaxed pose, she looks totally relaxed. I have a slight reservation on the tiger coat, it looks a little too ginger to me. You have some lovely detail in the eyes and the tiger's head.

Hi Haseeb ... nice almost head on shooting angle , with the body fading away giving depth to the image .
Nicely done . DOF and sharpness spot on .
Colors looking alright to me , personally I would up the exposure and watch the blacks as they are clipped .... and maybe lowering the contrast in the FG/BG would make the subject pop more , just a thought .

Nice to see you posting Haseeb :cheers::wave:

Hi Haseeb. I like this a lot. Good head on pose, nice low angle and good D O F. Nice details and sharpness. The ey contact and open mouth add to the frame.

If you have it, a bit more space all round Sanjeev, its a wee bit tight. Agree with Andreas thoughts, but have you added a vignette?

Thank you everyone .
@Andreas - definitely looking into your suggestion.
@Jon - colours look good to me.
@ Steve - yes added vignetting by the same method that you told me sometime back. And you surely meant Haseeb instead of Sanjeev.

Very beautiful tiger Haseeb, great POV, he fills the frame so nicely.

I too think it's a bit tight, just a bit. Colours look good to me too. IMO image a tad dark overall.

Love the pose and stare into your lens, wonderful capture:w3

Kind regards,
