    Taken in Bandhavgarh towards the middle of the morning, just before the end of the drive :( 40 degrees!

    Sadly it isn't a cub, I will leave that to another member. :D

    stunning sideshot portrait. I see some of the whites are a little hot, probably due to time of day and you wanting to preserve detail in the shaded areas. in a way it kind of creates a back-lit effect which works.

    Fantastic image from colour subject and sharpness, I would just like slightly more space on the left.

    Spot on Morkel, the light gets really harsh quickly and it is difficult (well I found it) to try and preserve all areas, but something had to give.

    Peter easily done, how much would you like? ;)

    Thanks guys

    Lovely sharp detail, and agree a bit more space on the left will work.

    Ticks all the boxes here Steve, superb color, lighting, detail, comp and BG! Only nit would be to have a tad more room on the left, which could be easily done.;)
