Nice to see this one. I like the eye contact.

A lot of photographers visit the place and they place sticks etc as perch. Some even bring their own sticks where they mark their copyright in the stick so that others can't click. I have even heard of men asking their betterhalf to place dupatta to get a clean background. Hey that is my wife's dupatta. How can you click? Men and then games!
So I have avoided that place in my visits. Not sure how the competitive photography scene is in that place these days.

When there is a crop, it is very important to get the critical focus right. Also a higher depth of field helps in those situations. So I would prefer to employ f8/f9 in these situations. Thanks for sharing.
