Staring Tiger from Tadoba!

This Tiger was around us for about 10 mins and gave us good opportunity to photograph.Here it is giving a stare at the safari vehicles parked bearby.

Watching a big male tiger walking past is always an exciting feeling. I think lowering the colour temperature a bit would enhance the composition further. Using a higher ISO, to get more shutter speed would have been nice to get more details as you were hand holding. Seems it was quite close, so getting it fully would have been a challenge with the 100-400mm lens. Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Mrudul. The overall colours have become too saturated. When you increase the contrast the image also gets saturated. In wildlife photography we need to see that the colour is as close to natural as possible. Thanks for sharing.

Here is the pic with reduced saturation.

The repost looks better. You can try to reduce the black point a bit. Thanks for sharing.

[Sabyasachi Patra]

Agreed that the repost is in the right direction. Some more work needed. While editing first set your black point ie decide how black your blacks need to be. When the blacks start losing details then back off.

In this frame I have reduced the blacks as well.
