Good photo with habitat.Looks like domesticated(not so) as some wild buffaloes seen in the fringe areas of Kaziranga.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice profile image. Is this full frame? I would have liked to add slight more space on the left from the right in the direction it is looking, and some more space at the bottom. The light is nice. Thanks for sharing.

[Suraj Sreedhar]

Mrudul Godbole it is not a full frame,slightly cropprd.
This was the maximum space i had at the left,i had mare space at the right so i had to crop.

Thanks for your valuable advice mam.

Its not a domesticated one sir.
Luckily no Guars are domesticated till now .

[Bhargava Srivari]

Agree that more space to the left (toward where the animal is looking) will be nicer. May be, you could have tried to avoid getting the tree right behind the animal's face region. Look forward to more posts from you.

Peaceful bovine like pose. It is better to try to get it right in the camera.

In Kaziranga, the wild buffaloes are known to mate with the domestic buffaloes. One can see them following domestic herds. However, gaurs are not domesticated. Rather, poached for the meat in Kerala side.

Suraj Bhai,

In the photograph such a powerful animal looks so docile,so timid that I observed "Looks like domesticated (not so)............".
That I never meant 'it is domesticated' is evidenced by the word "not so" written immediately after.
There is no confusion in my mind.Gaur is not domesticated .You have photographed Wild Gaur only.
Good that you have raised the point and I am clarifying it.

What exactly I wrote on 30.11.2011 ,12.56 P.M reads:" Looks like domesticated (not so)............

That I never meant 'it is domesticated' was evidenced by the wording "(not so)"written immediately thereafter.
