well, thought you made a mistake and was surprised!

Put on hold for the time being due to some other reason.

Oh come on! I make mistakes all the time! That's the one single way in which i learn, no mistakes = no learning! So dont be surprised jk! But yeah in that case it was not a mistake, it was intentional.

These are very clean shots fazal. I have to get back to shooting pics again, recently I have not done much. With monsoon in full bloom I can't complain about lack of subjects.

No, it won't. Gaur isn't a bison, so that honour goes to African Cape Buffalo.

In India we only the domestic variety of Buffalos.

Samurai, Appreciate your comments and correction, but it is the tallest wild bison or buffalo then, the wildlife book written by Neginhal too refers to this species as as Bison. Cape buffalo is is heavier than Gaur but not taller.

A view from Tibetian Monastry (home of dalai lama) McLoed Gunj.

Edit: I have a D40 but i am a point N Shoot guy compared to many here. All i did on this pic is crop and sharpen. Not so good with PS. Hoping to learn a lot from this thread
