Kanha National Park, India

Gorgeous tiger!

You could give the tiger a bit more head room -- the photos feel a bit cramped at the top at the moment. Very nice shots though!

The tiger seems to be detecting a scent in the first picture. I like "behavior" shots as well as the classic portrait shots such as your second photo.

Great poses captured.

As mentioned earlier, the crop is very tight. Please keep some space around the subject. Also, the images are quite noisy. Did you shoot in JPEG and process them afterwards? Or are those cropped a lot from the original frame?

Very nice shots!

My wife and I spent three days in Kanha but didn't see any tigers out in the open like that one. We thought that it was a beautiful Park, much nicer than Tadoba and Pench that we also visited.

Nice tiger, you are lucky to see them out in the open!

Both images seem a little too tightly cropped in the vertical, nor good reason to do that. Also, I'm not sure if this is original or cropped (if original, you were rather far away, and a DX camera wuold have given you higher magnification. The first image looks a little back focuses (behind the tiger).

The first is focused behind the cat, the second is nice

Thanks a lot for the comments. I really appreciate those.

First of all i have reduced the size of the image, by reducing the resolution too.

Second image is a bit too much reduced i think. I can upload a better image too if needed.

This might affect the image quality a bit. And other thing i've done are as follows.

I have the original image too. actually the tiger was very far from my jeep.

I took those shots using 500mm full zoom.( As we know that full 500mm zoom on 200-500mm nikon lens blurs some of the details.) So i sharpened it a bit more.

And then i cropped it a bit more. This must be the cause of the noise we see here.

I intended to bring the tiger to be in 80% of the print and intended to keep it a wide frame print, to hang it on the wall. That might explain the tight room for the tiger in the frame.

One again i really appreciate your comments. Please do reply.

Thanks.

Nice images, the crop is not what most usually see but I feel done that way helps the show the size of a majestic animal.

Add some contrast and saturation. Go easy.

Greatly appreciated.

Awesome photos of a beautiful animal! I too prefer the second modified photographs. I visited Ranthambore National Park in India in May 2017. There is nothing quite like seeing a beautiful tiger in the wild! Very few people have done so. Congratulations on these getting these photographs! Best regards, Dean
