Tigress Gowri - Bandipur

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Wow! Was waiting to see the images from this trip. The image has come out exceptionally well, details and light too is good. However the colors on the shoulders appear a bit unnatural, reasons could be light or in PP. This tigress is the most photographed at Bandipur Tiger Reserve and so are her cubs.
Since the light is nicely falling on her face you could have tried under-exposing, alternatively it can still be done in PP. It will give a nice spot light effect. Did you get to photograph the entire family in one frame. Will look forward to see more images from this trip.

Lastly did you get a chance to see my wall fully framed with cats pictures at the restaurant.

Praveen, I have only done the minimal processing in Lightroom. As per IndiaWilds standards, I try to maintain the essence of the image as it is by only doing the basic adjustments required.

Suraj, The route system is only in Kabini, it is not in Bandipur. I hope it is not implemented in Bandipur.

Thanks all for the comments.

Thanks Mrudul for the clarifications. The route system was implemented for couple of weeks at Bandipur and was stopped due to road works, it is likely to start again

Sabyasachi it is unfortunate that you have experienced such incidents again at Bandipur, ideally you should have reported the matter at DFO's office and to JLR mgr Sunil. I'm surprised that guests from jeep and bus have off boarded. Was the bus belonging to JLR or dept bus? If you wish you can mail me the your jeep drivers name, I will take it up.

Fortunately for me I have never come across such behaviors by guests.
