Dear all
Made this in Bandhavgarh NP with D300 , 200-400/F4 at F4 , 1/160 , ISO 400 HH
All C & C are most welcome

A lovely, serious face with great detail. I do find, however, the big light coloured stick and green blob in the lower rhs very distracting for me. TFS

Harshad,

These are such funny looking creatures, I have a few and hope to get some more one day

Not much you can do about the "distractions", which certainly do nothing to spoil the image IMHO.

I would actually have preferred a "full head of hair"

Surprised that you could forget something that big and heavy

Harshad - nice close-up and interesting expression. Pleasing bg too. For me, the reflection in the eyes is too strong and prevents me from having that connection with the animal that we often strive for in our images. Sorry.

TFS,
Rachel

Harshad great to see you working with the 200-400, even though you never used the zoom I like this tight portrait, lovely detail captured TFS

[Morkel Erasmus]

nice details and facial expression here Bhai - good to see the new toy working! will be interested to hear your observations regarding it's sharpness vs the 300mm f4?

maybe tone down the brightness of the green patch in the lower right corner?

Would like to have had some more DOF, but looking at the techs guess you were fighting for light and obviously things would have compromised your SS They always remind me of old men

TFS
