Hello everyone, thank you for all your comments and suggestions to my previous post and as always much appreciated.
Continuing with my animal scape images and I sincerely hope it is not boring you all , i do have portraits as well but I kind of really starting to like these wide scapes.
So, here is another tiger image from Bandhavgarh, and after a 10 year wait. I finally managed to get a Tiger on this rocky terrain of Bandhavgarh known as GhodaDamon area, a source of spring water in this rocky terrain makes this a Tiger hotspot in summers but somehow I never managed to see a Tiger here before this sighting. And it was our only vehicle and guess what who sighted the Tiger ( it was me ).
DPP 4.8, PSCC 2019 , WB, curves, levels, selective colour, colour balance, shadows , cloned a couple of twigs in the Lhs corner, cropped from top, localised sharpening on the subject.
Canon 1DX MK II, Canon 24-105mm IS II @ 105mm, HH.
ss 1/2000, f/5.6, iso 3200.
Looking forward for all your comments and suggestions , be it of any nature.
Very nice sighting. For me the LHS hill is too dominant, but rather than cropping off the left I would cut about a third off the top to make a shorter/wider panorama.
Haseeb, these Animalscapes are amazing. You did well in the field to spot the tiger and going wide is working well. This one is a very good one though I would have liked a bit more room below and less above. Also agree the RHS can be cropped off a bit. Good sighting and colours look very natural. Cheers! I will have one "on the rocks" tonight!!
Hi Haseeb, for me it works as presented, it just needs a bit of CW rotation. Remember you won't get critical sharpness as the FP is way on the extreme outer.
Hasseeb I lkke the colours and tones but the tiger looks a little lost to me - too small in the frame, it's as if it is incidental rather than the focus of attention.
Thank you everyone for your comments and suggestions, as always much appreciated.
@ greg and Doc : I did tried by cropping from lhs and I also have some space at the foot but I like it as cropped because of the greenery/vibrancy on the lhs and dry area/ soft colours on rhs with the tiger nicely perched.
@ Steve: I did remember your suggestion reg the loss of critical sharpness on using fp on outer side but forgot the implementation part on the field , could have easily used center fp and then recomposed it. Already did a a CW rotation but will try a bit more and see.
@ Jon: Really like your opinion as being subjective everyone has there own taste but I liked the vastness of the landscape and small in frame Tiger and inspite of that looks prominent to me.
And when there is a tiger in front of you, excitement takes over all the learning’s.
..... so true , and not only with tigers
Hi Haseeb another lovely scape .... well done . Enjoyed viewing it ... works for me as presented . I do like the three major elements and their placement in the frame .
