Hi,

During the morning safari in the debrigarh wildlife sanctuary, I captured this photograph.

Nice pose. Lot of vegetation in the foreground, but its good you still got the eyes relatively in clear. It would have been good if the there was some light falling on its face. Please post the EXIF details to help in commenting. Thanks for sharing.

It is always tough to get a good exposure with these guys as they have both bright as well a extremely dark areas and it poses a challenge to get both simultaneously. And if sunlight is falling on it then it further creates a challenge. In this case the hair at the top of the head looks over exposed and we can barely see the eye. Opening up the shadows a bit during post processing may be of help. I would have loved to see its face in the clear. What else did you sight in Debrigarh?

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Hi Sabyasachi,

Thanks for the feedback. They were very quick and at the same time very curious. During my two days stay in Debrigarh, I spotted peaacocks, hanuman monkeys, Indian guar, wild boars, deers, and many birds. Initially, there were elephants now they have blocked the path. There are many leopards, I was also in the lookout of them but spotted none.

As mentioned by Sabyaji difficult to get these animals exposed for a good pic.But a good one considering the difficult lighting.
