Wow nice to see some images from Sunderban . Good you could sight it in the open. I liked the pose and the eye contact. There seems to be some loss of details. Was it far away? How is the sighting in Sunderban presently? Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mrudul. Water Monitor is one of the most commeon sightings in Sunderbans. Tiger, as usual, remains elusive but when it takes place, it usually is for a long time especially when crossing creeks.

Nice one. Composition wise, I feel placing it lower in the frame would have been better. Love the head turn and eye contact.

Nice one. I agree with the previous comments. The head turn is nice. Did you click in one of the ponds in the tourist complex? In our last trip we sighted these monitors everyday, however, it was tough shooting through the wire mesh. I still haven't converted my Sundarbans images and edited the shorts. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
