Dear all

Male brothers of BACHCHI
D300 , 300/F4 , ISO 400, 1/500 nearly FF

All C & C are most welcome

Love the colour & detail here Harshad, as it was nearly FF, I wondered why you cut the top of the ears off?
I'm also trying to decide whether his OOF bro is distracting or not, I do like the attentive head turn on him.
They appear quite young Harshad, perhaps 2 years or so?

Their 2nd birthday will be in June or July

Harshad - I like the intensity of the eyes and think the second tiger makes this shot more unusual especially because his attention seems to be on his brother. Curious as to why you went with almost ff rather than ff.

TFS,

Beautiful animals and a beautiful capture Harshad

[Morkel Erasmus]

arresting close-up here! love the patterns and details.
the blacks seem a bit devoid of detail so I would suggest opening them up a bit using shadow/highlights or curves

here is also another crop to consider, if you don't mind Bhai :)

[Steve Canuel]

Interesting close up. I like the single, slightly OOF eye and how it lines up with the other eyes. I like Morkel's crop suggestion. Have you posted pics of these two as cubs?

[Hilary Hann]

I prefer Morkel's crop as I found the cropped ears uncomfortable. I love the OOF tiger with the intent eye. This is an intense image … the stripes, the eyes, the graphic quality. Excellent.

You may find images of female cub too,

You can simply see how poor photog I was and I am :eek:

[Steve Canuel]

Thanks for the links Harshad. I remember you posting the last linked photo and wondered if it was the same cubs. Nice to see them grown and healthy. And while its easy to see you have improved your skills, your days of being a poor photographer must've been before you started posting here.

Lovely repost !! The image is quite powerful . Looks like a mirror image in the thumbnail . The green spot in the LH corner could have been avoided in the crop . Hope to do some tiger photography this summer :)

Harshad,

Very late on this, I am afraid my new desktop and the transfer from old to new was a lot more difficult than as sold.

Great detail, just a pity you were not a few metres further away.
