Hyena cubs in the dark

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Hyena cubs cozying up to each other near their den at night. This was shot with the help of the tracker's spot light in the dark at crazy high ISO speed ! Hope you like it!

Hi Sanjeev - nice sharpness at such a slow ss. I'm a little surprised that they would put the spot on such young cubs. I thought they generally avoid it because of the more sensitive eyes. With the truncated legs I would crop tighter from the bottom to eliminate the legs altogether.

TFS,
Rachel

Hi Sanjeev, excellent sharpness at low SS. The cubs are so adorable. I'm Ok with the crop. The image looks a little bright to me, especially on the neck of the cub on the right. Loi

Hi Sanjeev, good to see you shooting at night time and although the techs are not ideal i.e. SS, I do feel you have managed to capture a very nice image. I would just lose the highlight on the LHS in the black.

Good to see you pushing yourself, Sanjeev. I would add that I would prefer a closer crop with the legs more truncated...
