Nice one. The details seem fine..a lower ISO would have sufficed? Also, what was the EC? A positive EC would have exposed the eyes better, I guess..

Nice bonding. One is alert and keeping a watch while the other is relaxed. The eye contact is good. Moving the camera a bit more to the left to include the sitting dhole in full would have been good. I feel there are some sharpening artifacts, reducing the sharpening would be good. Thanks for sharing.

Praveen,
Did you switch on the High ISO noise reduction feature in your camera?

This image doesn't seem to be as sharp as your other images. Tough scene to compose as there is a grass infront of the eye.

Nice to see the image of these two. My other interests have kept me away from Bandipur for sometime. Wish to go and see these dholes again. Any news of that big pack?

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
