'Behind the scene' for shots like this would do for me.

Naah. I am increasingly drawn to the fine art print side of wildlife (and nature). And nature (forest or mountain) immersion, which was always there. And of course, those long cross country drives which contribute towards 50% of the charm re any trip :-)

I know where you come from.
I wish, I too could stretch my leg. Close to 10 months a year away from the country + an infant = no cross country trips/ wildlife safaris viable, at least for another year or so.

Edit: I realised birding is not for me. I just don't get the thrill.

Excellent Scaly Breasted Munia Portrait, Nilanjan! Ha Ha do they live that long, Nilanjan!

Here's a freshly bloomed Dauben Water Lily from my garden.

Thanks! I just wonder looking at amazing snaps you folks put up. Amazing ones.

As for me, am just moving on at slow pace. Travels specific to photography reduced to very few in number these days. But some how managing what ever I can. 100mm still seems to be the glass with the max satisfaction index!

Meanwhile Canon released a 35mm 2.8 STM macro with built in rim lighting. Will try to look at it some time.

That's marvellous! The 'mating ones' reminds me of Jimi Hendrix - he was a procreative athlete too!

Terrific - the leopards in the long grass, sublime.

Wonderful Durango! I'm amazed that you can take such lovely photographs with a camera phone. Agreed that its an iPhone, but one must know what one is doing with it, to get such great results!

Liked the composition from otherwise a 'flat' scene.

Is there a consciuos effort for a 'balanced composition'? This is what matters not the cam.
