Nilgai - close to Phoota Kot

[Debasis Bose]

The blue bull was quenching his thirst when the continuous 6 fps of the camera alerted his senses and he looked towards us. If one notices carefully, three drops of water dripping from his mouth can be seen. The habitat is typical of nalghati zone. Nikon D7000, Nikor 70-200mm f 2.8, shot at 80mm, 6.3 stop, ISO 200, 1/160s

Nice to see this Nilgai in its habitat. During the film days, the golden rule was "f8 and you are there". A narrow aperture of say f8/f9 would have given more depth of field bringing up more details. I won't mind pushing up the ISO to 400 here. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Nice environment composition. Placing the Nilgai slightly more to the left and including more of the water in the background would have been good. Nice you got it looking towards you. Thanks for sharing.

Nice. Well-built Nilgai. Would have loved to see its unique tail vividly. It attains good size in forests of Rajasthan. Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice image of the Nilgai along with the habitat. This reminds me of male nyalas in Africa, almost the same except for white stripes. Its quite amazing how these cousins remind one of another. Thanks for sharing.
