From the same series, this guy was so focused to find his mate, he didn't even bother to look at the spotted deers that were in large numbers over a 100 of them within close range.

Nice pose and good eye contact. Is the AF point on the body? Some more details on the face would have been good. Why ISO 800? I think a lesser ISO would have sufficed. Thanks for sharing.

No wonder he's walking through flowers looking for his mate :). Nice watchful look. Pleasant scene. Thanks for sharing.

Mrudul - I have to check on the AF, I had increased the ISO anticipating some action since there were plenty of deers around. But later got to know from the driver that this was courting couple and this guy was looking for his mate:).

Thanks Murugan:)
