And yes, I did see it scent-marking. But she had turned her face away from us then

Sabyasachi...it is not a issue with the movement in the vehicle. After comments on IndiaWilds about my image of the Leopard looking a bit soft for a 20% crop, I got it checked with Canon. It seems my...

The highway passing through the core of this forest has now been closed to the public. The road is gradually degrading. Hopefully, the forests will soon take over this road and all that will be left...

Thanks Rajan. I always use a bean bag where ever possible. But am not sure whether I used one here. Difficult to remember for this particular one

Thanks Mrudul...sadly, it was late by the time the male started the sawing call looking down at something. We had to leave immediately after the continuous sawing call

Leopard | Kabini
This beautiful male Leopard gave us a wonderful 1 hr sighting where he slept, yawned and then started sawing at what was most probably a female Leopard below his perch. A high-ISO...

Thanks everybody.
Bibhav, no stinging. The tiger and the bees were happily sharing the water body. The tourists were the ones stinging (disturbing :)) the tiger :)

Hi Sabyasachi,
How I wished I had a 70-200 for this. I have maybe shaved a cm from below and right. There is no space what so ever in the frame.

Almost full frame image giving me little leeway for composition. But loved the pose and the tiger drinking water. Comments/criticism, as always, very welcome.

Adding an image of size as requested by Sabyasachi. Giving more space to the left and right as well.

There is no better sight than a beautiful leopard in dazzling light. The yellow fur of the cat puts on a display of varying shades of gold to make it a sight befitting the Gods!!

Thank you all for your comments.
Sabyasachi, the tiger is dripping wet. I have images of water dripping off its face. It might be one reason why it seems somewhat soft. But I did handhold it in dull...

The Lantana today is an over-whelming presence in our forests. A weed introduced into India by the British, it is slowly replacing the native undergrowth of our forests. And with none of the...

Hi Sabyasachi,
Yes, this looks very good. However, it was a misty morning and I felt increasing the contrast a lot removes the misty feeling from the image. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the comments.
Rajan, I purposely opened up the contrast a bit more than I usually do as I felt it adds a bit more drama to the image. But, thanks for the feedback.
Mrudul: Yes,...

Hi Sabyasachi,
Thanks for clearing the air as I would otherwise have found it difficult to sleep imagining that someone was questioning my ethics...LOL
Critics/comments are always welcome. But this...

Hi Sabyasachi/Mrudul,
I guess you are questioning the ethics I follow in posting my pictures. As mentioned in my post processing details, all I have done is a vertical crop and adjusting levels...
