Tiger Cub ! TATR

[Harshad Barve]

Dear All

This tiger was photographed in TATR (Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve) before sunrise
with D3, 600MM, ISO 1600, 1/640.

Why in the world great sightings happens in inclement conditions :2eyes2:

Not a great IQ for web but looking good on 8 x 12 print
All C & C are most welcome

Amazing shot Harshad! You did well in the given conditions.

Lovely moment. I would crop from the top and add some back to the bottom if you have it?
Some selective dodging of the face might bring out more detail there (dodge midtones on about 5%)...:e3

Harshad - It's photography law :S3:. Great action and timing, the cub is really coming out of the frame. Good suggestions by Morkel.

TFS,

Great action shot Harshad. Very clean image, I did get similar shots but with a fair amount of noise :P That D3 is a beast
Would love to see more of the foreground included as Morkel said

Harshad,

Nice action here, but the difficult light has resulted in a slightly less than perfect image, but still one I would be more than happy to have.
