Juvenile Tiger

[Sanjeev Aurangabadkar]

Hi folks,
I am glad to see Haseeb posting again and his opener was awesome. Here is one from that encounter of Tara and her 4 young ones.
The tiger very cautiously started coming towards us and it used an opening in the bushes to emerge in front of us. I used the 100-400 II L to give a feel of that habitat and the 'green tunnel' from which it emerged. Almost gave a 3D feel to it. Nothing cloned out.
1DX II
100-400 II L @ 312mm
1/640
f/5.6
ISO 10,000

Hi Sanjeev, the wait has really upped you game, both in framing and your confidence to push the ISO and PP, well done. Love the intense stare, body posture is on the money and you waited for the raised paw. Yes again I think you could push the colours and perhaps up the Blacks in levels, but watch for clipping, overall well done.

Hi Steve thanks for your words and suggestions. Here is an RP.

Hi Doc -- Another nice frame from this sighting. I liked the eye contact and the raised the paw. Wider perspective does give a sense of environment . RP also looks good .

Nice one.

TFS !

Think the RP is going in the right direction Sanjeev.

Hi Sanjeev .... exciting sighting and you did very well with the overall capture .
RP for me !!! Looks better !!!
I can see a version where the FG is darkened and the subject lightened ..... based on the RP

Such a cool image
