    Dear all

    What a great feel to see cub growing into big male , My wish is to see him becoming legend

    Harshadbhai, although surrounded by grass, I like this lots. The way the head stands out with those wonderful colours and detail above the grassland, and with good eye contact just works so well. Well captured.

    another lovely tiger image Bhai - I like the eye contact, soft light and colours and would just prefer a slight crop from the top to take out the protruding leaves in the centre

    Hi Harshad, I like the colours, which are rich and saturated, as well as the intense stare, and once again, ears both pricked forward. I also liked the water droplets hanging on the grass. Enough of his face and the intensity of his look mean the grass doesnt bother me at all with this shot. Agree with Morkel about cropping top leaves. Love this picture, and if you keep on taking these tiger pics, he will become a legend.

    Thanks Grant , As I always said I am more of Tiger documentry man and If I come up with some images which you guys like is bonus for me. This cub has grown up in adult male and he has responsibilty of taking tigers ahead in Bandhavgarh. With Loss of Jhurjhura female ( which you have photographed ) , Bhitari female going to Panna , Chakradhara female moving out of range along with her three cubs and injured Chorbehara female we are in need of Legends like B2 who can take over control. Though we have 27 Tigers in Tala range , this guy along with Bamera male and five females are future of Tala range in Bandhavgarh. He is capable of becoming a living Legend like B2 and I would love to document his journey , Best of Luck Kallu :)

    Harshad, top marks on this one, love it. If it was me I might lose the tree behind, but respect your beliefs in retouching. Perhaps a fraction less in saturation?

    Nice eye contact. Like the mood. Some sharpening artifacts visible in the face. Thanks for sharing.

    NO saturation added , may be just vibrant colors we get after rains , no cloning , cropped those leaves and dropped saturation by 5 points WDYT ?

    Hi Harshad

    Interesting, when viewed in PS it looks different to what has been posted. I think your modification is rather too subtle and in fact, reviewing it I like both posted, but not the PS version. Be interesting to see what happens to this one where I have dropped the Red in Saturation. What does this do and how is it viewed?

    The difference is huge Harshad from the PS file I worked on to what is posted, looks quite saturated, will email you the PS so you can see.

    Beautiful image Harshad. I like the adjustments that you and Steve have been doing. They add to an already lovely photo.

    HB - All of your tigers are great but this is a truly special shot. Some of the reposting looks really nice, as well.

    Hi Harshad This is much different form others posted and like it a lot, maybe the saturation? Sweet !!

    Steve agree on giving it a bit more saturation but I think its a little over, greens look very intense !!
