Walking Past 10,000 th Post

[Harshad Barve]

Dear all

I am walking past my 10,000th post on BPN.
In last 18 months I have learned so much here and made great friends. My sincere thanks everyone for accepting bombarding of Tiger images , A subject which I love most in life. MY sincere thanks to everyone who taught me tirelessly on BPN. A journey I enjoyed very much.

Here is Tigress walking of Defamed Dam wall of Bandhavgarh National Park.If you feel wall is tilted or horizon is not ok then some British Engineers to blame :p

D300, 600mm, ISO 800 , F6.3 , beanbag

All C & C are most welcome

Wow Harshad, this is a nice strong image again from you. I like both ears up, the focused stare, raised paw and the curl in the tail...nice walking posture too. Not sure about the very bright band of colour above the tiger, but the tiger itself looks excellent to me and that is what matters most.
Congrats on your 10 000 post, quite an accomplishment. The forum would not be what it is for me without you there
Cheers

Harshad. Your images show us a lot of beauty of nature from your area of this world and your words and comments teach many of us here on BPN. Congratulations for the 10K post. Lovely colors and nice low angle here and a beautiful animal of course.

Harshad, this is a striking image, as usual. Wonderful timing to capture the raised paw and head turn. As noted above, this site would not be the same without your incredible images and insightful critiques. The student has become the teacher. Congrats on 10,000th post--I look forward to another 10,000. Cheers.

[Steve Kaluski]

A fine image to celebrate your 10k posting Harshad, it doesn't get much better than this.

That dam wall needs a sign on it, how many people have photographed it with a Tiger sitting, walking on it. Your quest next year is to get a Tiger on it with a reflection in the water Harshad. :):):)

Big congrats on this my friend.

[Robert Amoruso]

Harshard,

I am glad to see you made your 10K post such a KILLER image. This is great and one of the best you have posted. The BG is to die for.

[Rachel Hollander]

Harshad - I can just echo everyone else's sentiments about your contributions to the forum. Congrats on your 10,000th post and congrats on a beautiful golden image to celebrate it. Great walking pose with raised paw and curled tail.

TFS and all your help,

Amazing image!! Like the color of the background and the raised paw.

[Harshad Barve]

Thanks everyone , Much appreciated.

[Steve Canuel]

Congrats on the milestone Harshad and more for this photo! The light on the tiger and that magnificent BG more than make up for the footing.

[Grace Scalzo]

Congrats, Harshad. I have enjoyed the first 10,000 immensely and am looking forward to the next 10,000.

All my best to you.

[Morkel Erasmus]

exquisite cat in exquisite light here my friend...big congrats on the 10k mark too - this forum would be much poorer without your inputs, images and attitude :)

[Danny J Brown]

Congratulations HB and thanks for being such a positive voice at BPN. This shot reminds me of the one that used to be on the opening page of BPN. That one was awesome, as well. Keep the tigers comin' in 2011.

[Sid Garige]

Congrats Harshad. Great accomplishment and killer image.

[Joerg Rockenberger]

I am not looking or contributing much in this particular forum but I am glad to see THIS cat, ahem tiger :), image of yours. 10k is by itself a terrific accomplishment but crowning it with an image of a tiger with such graceful mid-stride pose, background, sharpness and exposure is just fantastic. Big congrats!

I don't know if you ever explained the circumstances of Bandhavgarh National Park and how you so often get close to such majestic creatures but I'd love to hear it.

Best, JR
