Superb shot. Lovely head tilt and eye contact. Nicely composed, given it is such a tight frame.

Lovely. Looks like it turned to look at you. Nice details and composition. Well captured. Which recent trip is this, maybe you can mention the date as you keep going to Bandipur :). Thanks for sharing.

[Praveen Siddannavar]

Thanks guys for the comments, I know the frame is tight, but as mentioned this is full frame. The only way was to move the jeep, but chances of this guy flying was high so managed it this way.

Mrudul - This is shot on 29th July'11 @ 7:42am, last week I was in Hyderabad:)

Bhargava - sorry could not meet you, my schedule was really tight, surely next time lunch at your home:)

[Bhargava Srivari]

Sure Praveen sir..no worries. Would love to host you in Hyderabad :)

Good to see a raptor image. I love their eyes. Nice sight. I agree that the frame is tight, it often happens with telephoto lenses. Not easy to move back your vehicle always. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
