Nice eye contact, lovely horns. Nice habitat. A male, the dark patch on the face below the eye is clear. Thanks for sharing. SaktiWild

Nice sighting. I liked the low angle composition and the way only its head and hint of toes can be seen. Good eye contact. Would have liked some more space on the left for an off-centered framing. A lower ISO and shutter speed would have sufficed here. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Shakti bhai and Mrudul ji.....Eravikulam is such a nice place...nice weather and really beautiful place

Good to see this Jerry..agree with Mrudul on composition. also by moving a little to the left and going for a vertical you cud have avoided the bright sky on the top left corner, got an off centered subject and also got more of the rock face behind and more of the habitat all around.

at ISO 6400 your shutter speed was 1/4000. So reducing the ISO by atleast two stops would have given you ISO 1600 and 1/1000 shutter speed at f5. Since you were using an intermediate lens and also since it has got image stabilisation, the shutter speed could have been further sacrificed for a narrow aperture. Rule of thumb for handholding is that the shutter speed should be min 1/focal length. So at 250mm if one uses 1/250 shutter speed than the image should be sharp. With image stabilisation one can still go slower provided the subject is not moving. Thanks for sharing.
