Bull - The Indian Gaur

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Shot the bull at Tadoba near Telia dam area...

Canon 40D, 100-400mm L IS USM, ISO 500, f5.6, 1/50

Nice composition. Liked the frontal profile of the bull. Thinking if the focus is on the grass in front. It is quite difficult to focus on the animal in such situation, did you try manual focussing?

This is a big fellow. Nice feel to the image. I wish for better light. If the light would have been good, I would have used a narrow aperture. It is always difficult to get their eyes. In these situations, I prefer to use manual focus else the lens will hunt between the grass and the subject and mostly lock on to the grass. I like the rim lit horns.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Very nicely done. I like the way it is hidden amidst the tall grass. You have maintained the focus well. More DOF would have been nice...
