Curiosity

[Sabyasachi Patra]

I photographed this one in Rajbehera dam in Bandhavgarh National Park.

This cub was curious at something in the water. I don't know whether it was looking at its reflection or just trying to paw a frog. Unfortunately, the light was not falling on its head.

I hate inclusion of man made structures, as that doesn't give a sense of wilderness. Every year, the Rajbehera dam used to be full and only the top of the dam used to be visible. However, less of rains last year has dropped down the waterlevel so much. This was photographed on April 7th this year.

Canon EOS 1 D Mark II, Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS USM, EF 2xII i.e at 800mm. ISO 200, f5.6, 1/500. Full frame.

Look forward to your comments.

Cheers,
