This was captured during the Indiawilds meet at Kabini.

Bit too close then I would have liked We got plenty of time to shoot this guy and he was kind enough to pose for us.

Nice image. Agree it is a bit tight but this composition still works for me. Quite a different pose from the regular peacock images :). Not sure but maybe you could have tried an extender on, and focussing manually, since the bird wasn't in a hurry..? (Just a thought)

Thanks Abhishek, I did manually focus here. Don't have an extender with me yet. Looks like I need to get one.

Nice colours and details. You have composed it well. Thanks for sharing.

I guess you guys fired a thousand rounds from your cameras. :)

It was a clean perch without any obstruction. How much I would love to watch a scene where a caracal jumps and catches a peacock. :) Perhaps one day. :)
