Same tigress as posted in my previous post here http://www.indiawilds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3813

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, ISO 400, f2.8, 1/640, EV:+2/3, full frame image.

You can check the techs of this image and compare with the previous one.

Look forward to your comments and critiques.

Cheers,

The +2/3 EV in this image has helped to make this image a bit more brighter than the previous posting. You have used f2.8 than f4 in the pervious one. It is sharp. The backlit hair and whiskers look good. Thanks for sharing.

I like the rim lighting. The sharp focus on the head keeps the attention. I like the strand of grass on the left as well. This could be a good tutorial to understand DOF :)
Thanks for sharing.

Just fantastic.The light is excellent.The grass has added further to the beauty of the image.Very good relaxed tiger

Lovely image & rim lighting. I liked the sitting posture, it seems so tall, don't see it so often. I have seen Cheetah's in such posture.
Agree with Mrudul, she has made very good observations and valid points.

Nice capture and sharp and makes for a good study in comparative usage of tools.
Rim lighting always is emphasized better underexposed, but I don't think that was your intent with this image.
I found the previous image more appealing

Nikhilesh,
The previous image had -1/3 EV. This image had +2/3 EV. The +2/3 EV helped in burning the rim lighted portion and would show up without the body being underexposed.

Images of animals looking away rarely works. I wanted to create a feeling of mystery. What is there? Where is she looking at? Is there a prey?
