Atul,
Love the action. The water droplets flying around gives a nice feel. Is it full frame or crop?
It would have been great if you had a higher shutter speed. I was in Bharatpur in January and know that most of the times it was foggy and light levels were down. So in the prevailing conditions you could have max gone one stop ie. 1/500 at ISO 800.
Where was it? Didn't see them fighting though I was there for three days. So count yourself as lucky.
Cheers,
Sabyasachi

Amazing action captured. Liked the water splash and the fighting pose. Good eye contact. A high shutter would have been enhanced it further. You got it in nice clear BG.
Keep posting..

Hi Sabyasachi,
I shot this photo near "Sapan mori".
Yes, it was very foggy in Jan. but try to capture this fight on low ISO. Beacuse of no PRIME lens, it is very difficult to capture such action shots with a zoom lens.
I was guessing that it would be in Sapan Mori. You are pushing your lens to its maximum. I have seen lot of people having prime lenses but not utilising it to its maximum potential. Your widest lens opening if f6.3. A 500 f4 would have been great as it would have given you a higher shutter speed. Overall, a nice image.

Well frozen... The drops look nice. the action is good.
TFS
Lovely shot. Nicely frozen. The poses with one at the upper left and the other at the lower right look great. The water drops look great.
You certainly captured the right moment. A higher shutter speed would have been even better.
this is fantastic action shot... more shutter speed would have better.
