Hi Praveen,
Nice to see the dholes looking in different directions with ears raised. There is noise in the image, probably due to large crop? Was the original underexposed and you pulled up the exposure during processing? Did you do noise reduction on the background?
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

[Praveen Siddannavar]

You're right Sabyasachi I had set the EC to - 0.3 step and during pp pulled up the exposure slider to +51, hence some noise. The NR is done in LR that is minimum ~30. Thanks for the comments/observations

Praveen sir,

Good to see you post some images from Bandipur after some time. I like the composition. It seems like the dholes were quite far as I understand that you cropped a horizontal image for this composition.

Nice alert pose and eye contact. The vertical composition looks nice. Wish they were closer. Thanks for sharing.
