Dhole in Tadoba NP

[Amit Paralikar]

This was captured near artificial waterhole at Tadoba as the temperatures ranged between 45-46 degrees. The famished condition is because of that. Camera: Canon S5IS

Nice image. The habitat looks quite dry. It surely looks quite in a bad shape. What were the EXIF details? I would have liked to see more space all around. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Amit,
Nice to see a dhole. They lose weight if they are without a good meal for sometime.

I found the following EXIF details from your image. ISO 80, 1/500, f4. Is this a crop? If so how big?

Increasing the brightness of the image will be good. Reducing the colour temperature (white balance) will be good. A larger image ie 800 pixels at the longest side and upto 200kb will help in critiquing better.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

The pose looks nice. Posting a larger image would help in better critiquing. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image, but its too tight. You need to post a large image, light seems quite harsh, really tough conditions for animals to survive at such high temperatures.

Thanks Amit. Good to know that the dhole was close to you. I hope rains would have hit tadoba now and they would have got some respite.
