Swamp Deer: Dudhwa

[Bibhav Behera]

Shot this at Dudhwa NP from elephant back. These are also known as Barashinghas.

These were pretty shy and didn't allow us to come very close unlike spotted deer.

I accidentally set the sharpening for screen from standard to high in this image.

Good sighting Bibav.

They will not trust man. They were almost wiped off - a quite fortunately perhaps due to the effort of Billy Arjan Singh they are living today.

[Bibhav Behera]

I agree Mr. Nataraja.

[Mrudul Godbole]

Nice environment photograph. The alert look is nice. Wish the hand pump on the right top was not present. Thanks for sharing.

[Bibhav Behera]

Thanks for the comment, Mrudul. That is a dead tree stump on the top right.

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Wow! This is nice Bibhav, nice environmental photograph

Nice composition, the colored layers of the vegetation give a feel of the environ.

A bit more space to the right would have made the image very appealing
