I could have easily increased the iso for a higher shutter speed but this sighting was so quick that I had no time to change the setting. This does happens especially to me, no matter you see tigers so often....Excitement

Beautiful eye contact. A bit more space at the bottom would be good. I am not sure but I think reducing the sharpness a bit would be good. Thanks for sharing.

P.S - You can keep the default ISO to 400, in 7D that would be quite safe. Since you don't want to miss out when you see a tiger .

[Roopak Gangadharan]

The peeping pose and Eye contact are nice. Agree on reducing sharpness. The sighting itself is a great gift, Not to worry praveen im sure there will be loads more coming your way and you will certainly make good of them.

Lovely sighting. The eye contact is good. Did you run noise reduction?

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks guys for the comments.

Sabyasachi - yes I did run the NR about 40-50%

Mrudul - how do we set up the iso 400 as default?

[Sagar Patil]

I dont find any problem with this ISO on my TFT.
I am surprised with the sharp eyes and face, which came out outstanding.
