Nice light and good eye contact.
It would help if you mention the Exit details along with the image explicitly in every post. That would help all to understand the manual settings used while taking...

Nice display of the habitat. The thick vegetation gives it a nice cover to nest, protecting the young ones from possible harm. Liked the composition.

Please do mention your equipment details and...

Hello Sundarji,

Welcome to Indiawilds.

I agree there are so many places in India worth to visit that they say one lifetime will not be enough to see all.

Look forward to see and know more...

Good to see you are trying different compositions. Inclusion of the shadow adds to the composition. Just thinking, if a vertical composition would have helped to get more focus on the mantis and its...

The repost version looks better. Lovely relaxed pose captured. I feel a bit more space at the top would have strengthened the composition further. Where was this photographed? Thanks for sharing.

In this photograph the eye contact is better. I feel it is better to keep the background as is (even if it is a city landscape) and we can only try to minimize the distractions as much as possible...

Amazing to have a tigress to follow the vehicle :). Was the vehicle moving? There seems to be a slight shake. Posting the EXIF details will help to know whether increasing the shutter speed would...

Nice sighting of this young beautiful tigress. Slight more space at the top to show more of the habitat (more proportional framing) would have been nice. Please post equipment and EXIF details to...

The bright yellow with the black stripes makes a striking combination. Makes it easy to spot :). Nice perch and good eye contact. I liked the composition. Is this full frame? Thanks for sharing.

Nice sighting. A slight more head turn in your direction would have helped to get better eye contact. Was any special post processing done, as there is loss of details and also the background looks...

Interesting observation. The fungus covering its rear body can be seen distinctly. Maybe does the fungus attacks them after perching on the tree/branch? Some web(?) like thing can also be seen...

Beautiful pose and eye contact. Good details in the underparts of the wings. The sharp talons look menacing :). Thanks for sharing.

Good details in the eyes. As you have said, the light brownish(?) underside of the spider can be seen. Maybe a slight less space in the bottom (the out of focus area) would have been nice. How have...

Lovely frame, kind of a postcard picture :). The yellow rose makes the composition more interesting. Maybe just a bit less space on the right would be nice. Also just thinking, did you try a vertical...

Loved the perch and the pose. The distinctive curved red beak tipped in yellow looks good. The tiny white flowers frame the bird nicely. Wish there was some light on the bird, that would have...

Lovely first post. I liked the composition and the patterns on the bark really look great. Did the owl move suddenly? I think you could have used a slight higher ISO and aperture to get more details....

Welcome to IndiaWilds..!!

Photography helps you to be in close contact with nature and it has become very important that we spread the word to conserve nature. Not many people would be able to...

Nice to see you trying your hand at bird photography :). Nice pose, showing how it is keeping an eye on the commotion around it. The image looks a bit soft to me. Is this a crop? If not please check...

Nice composition. Experts can you please help with the id. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful sighting. Both the mother and cub looking into your direction, makes it more interesting. I liked the framing. Did you sight her with the other cubs also? Thanks for sharing.

Bera sets an example of how humans and leopards can have a peaceful co-existence. They understand the animal behavior and are not threatened knowing that leopards are staying so close to their homes....

Photographed this from the launch while returning back in the evening.

Canon 1D Mark IV, Canon 24-105mm L IS USM, 1/250, f7.1, ISO 400, hand held, full frame.

Comments and critiques welcome.

It seems the spider had its web cast and was waiting for prey under the leaf. The beetle unknowingly got caught in it, and then the spider came out to get its prey. Loved the details and the eye...

Good that you checked on them when you returned back. That gave you chance to observe their behavior. As you have said, I think the crab spider would have attacked it finally after not getting any...

Nice close-up. So it is holding a stick or that is the perch? Which lens were you using? Is this full frame? Thanks for sharing.
