    The light seems bad, the patch on the back and around the Thar are burnt out.
    The color and white balance are off.


    Would have been good to include the Thar in front or eliminating it completely

    I think the quality is due to the scans. One needs to scan in drum scanners to get the right quality and they are pretty expensive. I am not satisfied with the scans that I had tried to do and hence not many of my slides are scanned. The quality of digital is much better as you don't get noise.

    Cheers,

    Nice image. Wish the animal infront was not present. The eye contact is nice. You could have tried a lower angle if possible. Thanks for sharing

    Nice pose. Reducing the contrast a bit would be good. I agree that it would have been better without the tahr in front. Thanks for sharing.

    These males with thick horns and black complexion is called saddle back.

    They head the herd and enjoy mating rights.

    The tahr is being continuously decimated in many hills. Anaimalais (including Parambikulam and Eravikulam) is most likely to have maximum tahrs. Ashambu hills (KMTR, Neyyar etc) will rank second and Nilgiris with isolated populations may rank 3rd. I beleive in Karnataka tahr is almost completely exterminated.

    Quality of scans from labs used to be such an issue.
    Have you tried coping the slides using a dSLR and a macro lens. The quality will be better than conventional lab scans..
