    Dear All

    Bamera Male or New Tala male is going to be star attraction of Bandhavgarh in 2010-11 season. Son of Legendary B2 , Born in Tala Zone and then shifted to Bamera range after family separation. Started visiting Tala zone from 2009 , Now well settled in Tala zone. Made huge territory, big time bully and short dude compared to other males. He allow you to do long photo sessions.:)
    Had seen him numerous time this year and I am sure he will take over crown from B2 this year.

    This one is for you Ken W :)

    7D , 300/f4 at F5.6 , ISO 200 , 1/60 HH , cropped to vertical
    All C & C are most welcome and much appreciated
    Harshad

    Like the vertical comp and the way the color of the surrounding vegetation compliments the tiger.

    He is a nice chap. I had photographed him mating, so have fond memories of him. ;)

    I hope no more tiger death in bandhavgarh happens due to vehicle running over tigers. I like the composition. A slight counter clockwise rotation would be good. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    It looks better than previous, not so 'sooty' looking Harshad, cleaner. Did you follow my suggestions from earlier in the year about DPP?

    I think Artie has summed it up 'intense portrait'.

    Personally I might crop in from both the top & rhs but marginal. Re PS sharpening going the wrong way in the middle. :D

    Nice vertical comp and a clean look at this guy. He does seem to have short,stocky legs.

    I would not mind knowing what Steve's comments mean either, not only the above two but "sooty"?

    I didn't think Steve was alluding to this image being "sooty", but I may be mistaken …

    Comp is all personal taste Harshad, it was only a suggestion, not a criticism, as you ask for C&C, so this was my thought.

    Re sharpening, I am surprised you asked, as I PM you about this. You have transpose the figures in the wrong way when you typed it in the thread? It should be 75, 0.3, 0

    Some images from the 7D look to me slightly 'sooty' a hint of black overall not giving a clean image, nothing more nothing less, especially at hi ISO. I trust this clarifies things.

    Great pose and detail... that stare off to the right adds some intensity in my opinion - makes me wonder what he has spotted. ;) Nice work.
