Dear all

I guess I have posted one image of this series in 2009 when I used to process image on Google Picasa :2eyes2::2eyes2:

This image made in Paradise called as Corbett National Park , One amazing park for birds, Elephants and of course Tiger ( Though getting Tiger is though very very difficult ). Can't wait for April 2011 when I will spend some awesome time there

D300 , 600mm , beanbag , 1/50, ISO 800 at F6.3 , FF shot
All C & C are most welcome

Harshad, this is an outstanding image. The clarity and the light are perfect. I scrolled down to eliminate

the oof green on the bottom and it looked even better to me. What a moment! Thanks for posting this.

I remember the original image Harshad.:S3:

I like the colours and composition of this and of course, the protective 'parental' pose. Personally I would crop some from the top getting back to a 3x2 format, as I do find there is a little too much above.

I respect your views on 'gardening', but the grass blade to the RHS at the back of the baby I do find slightly distracting, ditto the rock/leaf in the OOF FG, but it's personal preferences, but no big deal. :w3

Harshad,

Very nice, just goes to show that there are other photogenic animals (including Deer):bg3:

I would crop a little more from the bottom and a bit more from the top.

"Distractions" do not amount to much unless you lose sight of the subject.

such a wonderful moment in great light Harshadbhai...great low angle too!!

[Vivaldo Damilano]

This is a winner Harshad, the image really has character and also love the smalll one. Very cute. I would crop in closer but not a biggy for me TFS:cheers::cheers:

Killer image!!

Love the intimate pose and the light on the face. Agree with crop suggestions.

[Danny J Brown]

Wow HB, this image is spectacular and will go down in my all time HB favorites, especially if you decide to get rid of all that extra space on top that I assume is a placeholder for the name of the magazines to which you submitted this fine shot. Awesome.

What a great, intimate portrait of an animal mother and child. While I have no problem with the space above I also think this would work well as a tighter crop to really focus on the poses and connection between the two. Nicely done.

[Ofer Levy]

Very sweet image!! maybe slightly over-saturated. Agree with cropping off the top especially as it is quite centered as presented.

[Ross Konigsburg]

Wow. The colors are great

Harshad - beautiful interaction. Nice pose with them both looking in the same direction with similar intensity. I agree with the suggestion to take some from the top.

TFS,

Harshad, one of your best posted images.

I would agree with some top cropping though for a magazine cover this works perfect.:w3

[Marc Mol]

You've captured a very tender moment here Harshad, the soft lighting and BG are superb :cheers:.:cheers:
Agree on some slight cropping top & bottom.

I am speechless (and that doesn't happen often). This is such a wonderful portrait, just wonderful.
