Wilds Dogs (Dholes)/Bhadra

[Praveen Siddannavar]

This a record shot, sighted a pack of 11 dholes that were healthy and of course quite shy, one of the females will litter soon. The Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary has a lot of potential, need more attention from the authorities to develop it further.

Very nice shot, Praveen. You have captured the feel of the place beautifully. Interesting poses, and superb BG. A perfect habitat shot for me.

Nice environment photograph. The low angle looks nice. It is good that you got most of them looking towards you. Good to see wild dogs in Bhadra. Thanks for sharing.

nice setting Praveen. I would crop a lot of bottom OOF area.

I would have bumped up the ISO. Less space at the bottom and more at the top would have been even better. Did you do noise reduction? It is good that you sighted a pack of dholes. The prey density will increase (due to relocation of villages) and with strict patrolling. When I had visited bhadra last time, a number of posts were vacant and there was not much money given for patrolling.

Cheers,

Thank you for the comments

Sabyasachi these dholes were really shy I didn't have the time to increase the ISO, the sighting was for just 1-2 minutes or so.

Nice low angle...I am OK with the composition. Did you apply any NR? The dholes' body appears to be very smooth....is it so or something to do with my monitor?
