Both cubs have lovely calm expressions on their faces. I like the detail in the cubs and that you can see those big paws. Very pleasing.
Harshad - Interesting perspective from below. Definitely see the size differential. Like the comp but might take a little from the bottom to remove some of the light parts of the rock that compete with the tigers' markings. I know and respect your position not to clone but it might work to crop some of it out. Very nice image.
TFS,
Rachel
Now I can tell exactly which camera you used before I even see the techs :)
I think the crop would be better if you lose some from the lhs leaving the rest as is Harshad. Would start the crop about 12mm from the lh cub paw, giving enough for the cub, but emphasising the other looking into the rh corner. You need the depth below Rachel.

Steve- I didn't try the crop and it may not work as well. I just find the lighter spots on the rock distracting and would probably do something about them but because Harshad doesn't like to mess with nature (which I respect) thought the crop to get rid of some might be a solution.

Next season I will shoot with dark lenses for sure :)Originally Posted by Steve Kaluski
Rachel - I don't think they 'compete' as they are far enough away from the cubs and slightly diffused and knowing the location the markings on the rocks are an integral part of the habitat/environment. I think if you had removed them it would look odd. Amending images even to that degree is not good practice IMHO, as it removes the authenticity of the location. Odd bits of 'gardening' fine, but I would not in favour to that degree and my reservations are, that this is becoming acceptable in photography I fear.
FYI I have just submitted ten images into an International Award of which two have been selected. As a result the original RAW files have also now been submitted to be vetted to ensure no 'tampering' had been done.

Excellent comments. Also a tight vertical would have made a good and different image. Love those faces!
Steve- I agree with your comment that there is often too much amending of images. As you know, I am fairly new to PP and still finding my ethical limits with PP. My solution probably would have been completely different and that would have been to shoot around those in the field (just a personal thing) but again I don't know the environment and that would have probably meant that I would not have come out with as good a shot as Harshad.
Harshad - sorry to briefly hijack your thread. Looking forward to the next in the Young Masters series.

Always feel free to put you thoughts on board my friend Rachel , We all are here to learn and there is nothing like hijacking thread ,
Hi Rachel, good points and that your comments & questing are totally within the thread and therefore have not hijacked it at all, but are in keeping with the word Forum. :)
Great, the more diverse in your thinking the better.My solution probably would have been completely different
Vertical crop Al, hadn't thought about that, could be an interesting one.

Excellent suggation , will work on original when I will get more time , here is quick crop
I liked original a lot Bhai, for my tastes stronger than a vertical :)
one fine image, looking forward to the rest. I notice a slight cyan/green caste, not much but might be worth tweaking a bit in colour balance :)
I decided to play a little. Hope you don't mind Harshad. Like with the vertical crop, this certainly changes the image. Just another perspective. Obviously, if it had been done in the field in would be less of a panoramic.
Rachel
I liked your version Rachel
Hi Harshad... when I first looked at your image I thought about a tighter crop myself. I like your repost of the vertical format, etc.
Much prefer the OP, a very nice perspective Harshad, it's not easy getting the comp right here with different view from both cubs, perhaps just a slight crop to lhs, but feel you've balanced it quite well.
It really shows the a significant size difference between the cubs here.

Nice interaction. Shutter speed wise you are in dangerous territory. Wish you had got a narrow aperture and higher shutter speed. What was the ISO? I would prefer Rachel's repost minus a little bit space from left. For a vertical composition, a narrow aperture would have been better.
Cheers,

Love the interaction this image showcases . The BG seems busy , but then tiger habitat is the way it is . Loved the horizontal more than the vertical .
Thanks everyone , much appreciated , Little Masters # 3 posted
