Hi all, am posting after a long gap. I completed 1 year here on BPN and thanks to all for your feedback and help. This photograph was created at Tadoba Tiger reserve, Maharashtra, India with the 7D and 100-400 L hand held. AI servo, BBF, center point with expansion. PP in DPP and CS5. Selective NR on BG.
Cheers,

Nice sharpness, IQ and inquisitive pose, Sanjeev. The OOF leaf in the FG is a tad distracting. Congrats on the anniversary and here's to many more .

Sanjeev:

Agree with Sidharth re: the leaf coming towards us being a bit distracting. You can help it recede a bit visually by lowering the luminosity a bit.

Bird is sharp, well exposed. Shooting angle a bit steep.

Congrats on your milestone!

Cheers

Randy
