Lovely peaceful environment for the chitals grazing on new shoots in the open with so many varieties of trees in the background changing colours during the month of Holi. If one tries to optimise scenic beauty and wildlife viewing, indeed March is the delightful time for visiting most of our forests. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

The colours look like an artists impression. Is this an HDR processing?

Lovely environment composition. It gives a nice feel of the summer in the forest. Agree the colourful trees make the composition more interesting. You could have used a higher ISO and shutter speed to get more details. Thanks for sharing.

Nice image Shyamalaji... These expansive meadows give ample opportunity to sight more than one species at a time. Typical jungle habitat nicely depicted here. Thanks for sharing.
