I dedicate this image to one of our most enthusiastic member of Wildlife forum, Andre . I am still feeling so sad for our big loss and especially for Gabriela who along with Andre had tried to help each and everyone on this forum with there images and inputs .
This is a young Tiger female cub aged about 12 months who was sitting alone near a tree as her other three male siblings always try to dominate her and gang-up against her . To me she really appeared sad and lost in her thoughts because of her current situation . Taken from the back of the elephant which is one real difficult vantage point , it always moves and handling the big equipment like the 500 f4 becomes real challenging .

Hi Haseeb - I think we are all still feeling the shock of Andre's passing. What a cute tiger cub. I love the soulful look of the eyes. I wish for a little more room on the left but not sure if that was possible given you were trying to keep the paw in on the right. Watch the whites and blacks though. Some of the whites are hot and to a lesser extent the blacks choked. I think you did well from the back of a moving elephant but like with shooting from a moving/rocking boat, you needed a bit more ss.
A sad-looking cub indeed, fitting image...
I agree with Steve's last comment, perhaps just back off on the sharpening?
Do show us some more images of this cute cub sometime, Haseeb!
