The light was low. How much of a crop is this? Was it alone or with a herd?
Its full frame sir.It was alone.....:)
I was expecting better sharpness at 1/60 seconds at 70mm. Some more space at the bottom would have been better. There are some sharpening artifacts visible on the hair on the head near the nose area.
The charging pose looks nice. Agree about slight more space at the bottom. Wish the light was better. Thanks for sharing.
I think it is a stockier-built gaur.Somehow you could not get it in a right pose.No problem.You will get it soon.After the rinderpest epidemic in the early 70's,we lost most of them for which Bandipur was famous.If my assuption is correct, good that they are coming back. In between we lost one generation.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
As usual an intimidating picture of a Gaur.Well done.Keep it up.

The image was taken late evening.It was almost dark and fog had aquired.So the image is not sharp and at ISO 3200 noise was a problem & had to apply noice reduction.
Suraj,
Nice to see that you had quite a few photographic oppurtunities in bandipur. Agree that more space at the bottom will make this better. Also, I'd have tried a vertical composition too, in the field.
