Gaur - Kabini

[Vijayasarathy Sekar]

An early morning snap. This Gaur looked too lazy to even chew the cud.

Young loving one.Nice composition.The Myna ,appears to be White-vented, has added great value to the image.Wish light rays were from a favourable direction.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice relaxed pose. The myna on the back looks nice. Agree with Saktipadaji, wish the light was from behind you. What was the ISO? Thanks for sharing.

Nice image of the Gaur in a relaxing pose. Looks like the gaur was quite close to you. The myna gives a nice feel to the image as Saktida has pointed out. Quite a bit of 'clean up' is done by these birds, nature has a lovely way of assisting if its left to her. Thanks for sharing.

Since this is early morning and was in shade, you can find predominance of blues. A bit of tweaking the white balance will help. My first impression was that this is a high ISO image in low light. So am a bit surprised to hear that this was clicked at ISO 100.

Since it is by the side of a tree stump it gives a impression of a domestic bovine chewing cud.
