A view of the canopy of the semi-evergreen forests that crown the Matheran hills. (Matheran literally means "forest on the head".) Clicked from Monkey Point in Matheran, with the 100mm just as the sun was setting.
This is by far my most favourite spot in Matheran. It bustles with wildlife throughout the year, with plenty of birds (both perching birds and several raptors), some pretty uncommon reptiles and amphibians during the rains, small mammals like wild ground-dwelling rodents and giant squirrels, and as the locals tell me, a leopard as well. (Waiting to see that one )

Narrow crop from the top to remove a hint of the sky, and a small contrast boost.
There are some nits- the under-exposure, a bit of noise etc., but I felt they add to the low-light feel of the image. Let me know your view.
Thanks, C&C awaited.
