Tiger ! Ranathambhore

[Harshad Barve]

Dear All

I am back at home from 47 days tiger trip.

This tiger was photographed in Ranthambhore NP with D3, 600MM, ISO 800, 1/320. We had more than 50 sightings of Tigers in 21 awesome days.

All C & C are most welcome
Harshad

Wow, great shot, always exhilarating to spot tigers in the wild!! I have been to Kanha, Tadoba and Pench. My next destination is Ranathambhor!!
Cheers

Hi Harshad, nice to have you back.

Like the low POV & pose, just feel the clarity/sharpness could be improved slightly (especially from Nikon :bg3:), could also do with a hint more mid tone tone too, as the colour again looks a tad thin? The OOF foliage may be slightly distracting, but nothing you can you, well on some of them you can, but I know your thinking, LOL.

Look forward to more from you and Chas over the coming weeks.

Hi Harshad - Welcome back. Sounds like a very successful trip. Nice low pov and the open mouth is great. I agree with Steve on the sharpness. Oof foliage doesn't bother me as much as the bright highlight behind the ear. Looking forward to seeing more from your recent travels.

TFS,
Rachel

Great to see you back. Looks like you had a great trip. Lovely image Harshad!

Hi Harshad, a beautiful image. Your repost is alot better but I would still tone down the highlight ever so slightly :w3

[Nancy Bell]

Awesome...love the open mouth and whiskers. You've hooked me on tigers now and I look forward to my next visit to India. I'm traveling to Arizona this week and will post some of my tiger images when I return.

Good to have you back, Bhai! I am very much looking forward to seeing the fruits of your labour :5
This one rocks - love the pose and the colours. Repost sharpening is spot on!

Lovely image! TFS, what are those yellow colored OOF objects in the foreground and background? Flowers? They look really nice

Welcome back Harshad,
A nice return post, I like the soft, warm glow and the fore and aft OOF areas.

another marvelous image. Must have been one heck of a trip.....I like the repost....Only suggestion I could make is that I might use a slight Darken/lighten center filter in Color Efex4 to pinpoint exactly where I want the viewers eye to focus....I find myself looking first at what the Tiger is viewing...
