Tiger Portrait

[Neil Mehta]

( Re posting- Cannot see the image in the earlier post )
Made this picture in Bandavgarh in winter this year.

Canon 7D 100-400
f/5.6 1/200 ISO 640 -0.33

I am trying to fix up a post processing work flow, still not sure. Kindly help me with the PP and criticize the image.

Thank u ,

Neil

Beautiful portrait. The eye contact is stunning. Lovely details. It is good that the leaf did not block the eye. Well captured. Look forward to more from Bandhavgarh.

You can check the following thread for processing workflow. Thanks for sharing.

Lovely looks. It is good that though there are leaves at left and bottom, the face is in the clear. However, the bright leaf near the eye is a bit distracting. Wish you were a bit to the right. How much of a crop is this?

Increasing the contrast will only highlight the bright leaf. I would prefer to reduce the contrast and the black point a bit. Wish the twigs were not there at the top. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

stunning portrait.. the eye contact.. the colour.. its just wow..!!
but would have been a better wow if the green left near the left eye and the dry twigs right behind the head could be eliminated.. probably you can try cloning it..
