Tigress/Ranthambore Series - Water Dripping Action!

[Praveen Siddannavar]

This is full frame, was aiming at getting the water dripping action from the tigress belly. After shooting I realized that lot of space all around was needed.

I tried post processing with Lightroom 2.5, appreciate your C&C

Lovely pose. Liked the dripping water. Seems you were quite close to her, some more space on right would have enhanced the image further. I have increased the saturation and vibrance. You can try processing your RAW image and make these processing changes. Let me know what you think.

Lucky to have so many tiger sightings :). So how long will you be in Ranthambore?

Also, I would like to increase the black point. I will post soon about processing in Lightroom. Have been unable to do it due to time constraints.

I would also like to see some more space at the left so that the entire tail is in the frame. Also more space in the right ie. in the direction the tiger is looking will improve the image.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

I agree with Mrudul and Sabyasachi regarding the space. The black point issue has already been mentioned by Mrudul. Good sighting.
