Queens Stare

[Debasis Bose]

Queens Stare! She slowly stood up and decided to come close to our Gypsy displaying her canines and incisors, we had to back off. It was about 4.30 pm and light was very low due to tall trees and bush. Shot in Corbett National Park. Nikon + Nikor 300 f 2.8, ISO 200, 1/80s

Nice eye contact. Seems a gypsy came from the other side and that made her uncomfortable. The shutter speed was quite low, increasing the ISO to 400 would have helped to get more sharpness. How long was the sighting before she decided to move? Thanks for sharing.

Lovely pose of the young lady from Bhabar and Terai jungle. Nice capture. I have seen this pose in Kaziranga. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Sighting the apex predator is always a nice experience. Shutter speed was less due to low light and also due to ISO 200. You can push up the ISO a bit. It appears there was another gypsy in the background. These days it is tough to get a sighting without any other vehicle nearby. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
