    Dear all
    Made this with first rays of sun in Bandhavgarh NP , This is female cub from current litter of Mirchaini Female. Just as bold & beautiful as her mother. They are rocking the Bandhavgarh NP and attracting lot of visitors across the globe. Wait till summer and waterholes in Andhiyari Jhiria area will be a buzzing place.

    7D, 300f4 at MFD at F6.3, 1/160 , ISO 800 , benbag
    All C & C are most welcome and much appreciated

    Harshadbhai, great looking female cub, and she's pretty large. I like the intense stare, good eye contact, and you have captured good detail. I would maybe take a little off the bottom, and a little more off the top. Something like this.

    Harshad, like the colours & pose, might go for a 'pano' crop just to emphasis things? Agree with Morkel about the noise, is it similar to my email to you re previous posting?

    Now regretting not coming out:(

    Beautiful looking cub, you are so lucky to be living "near" to these wonderful creatures.

    My only nit would be the OOF rocks, but I do not encourage standing up in vehicles:)

    repost works very well
    Ken - did you have a bad experience?? ;) they say you break the animal's "horizon line" when getting up or putting your head through the sunroof - and it either scares them off or makes a predator interested in you...

    I know bhai - at many lodges here too - the point I tried to make is that when you stand up on the open vehicle (or stick your head through the sunroof of a closed one) you attract unwanted attention to yourself from the animals :)

    Fine shot Harshadbhai. Like the way the cub pops from the surroundings. Understanding it's early days with the 7D, I looked at your histogram and you probably could have opened up 2/3 of a stop before clipping which may have helped noise in the darker areas like the fur. (there is clipping on the blacks). :)

    Hi Harshad,
    Very nice eye contact, nice environment too but the oof FG is a bit distracting and noise is hurting IQ.

    I like the colors and alert pose here Harshad. I like Stuart's suggested crop, it puts more focus on the cub.

    Excellent image Harshad! Prefer the original post, noise can likely be tamed a little. Your tiger images are giving me thoughts of a trip on day, sooner than later. TFS
