Whereas a lot of my other shots on my trip in 2005 were taken as grabs in Mudumalai whenever I could persuade my driver to stop, this one was taken on safari in Nagarhole in half decent light.
It was part of a series shot with the camera's motor drive on. I like the hint of backlight on the antlers, which helps them to stand out from the confused background.
