Liked the relaxed pose of the pair, on the top surveying their kingdom :). Nice eye contact from the female. Thinking just a bit less space at the bottom and more at the top would have strengthened the composition further. Thanks for sharing.

Nice to see a pair. Understand the difficulties in getting the right angle when one is shooting in Kabini. Were you shooting through the glass window? How long was the sighting? Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I was shooting from one of the back windows of the a twenty row Karnataka state tourism bus.There was no glass but certainly there were two bars across, which certainly inhibited the free positioning of the lens.The sighting lasted for just couple of minutes.The pair immediately descended into the thick bushes below and disappeared.I got a couple of shots of the male descending.The driver was in a hurry to leave as his time was up.Their safari timing extends for only one and half hour.
