Amazing pictures there Fazal Bhai.

I never see you go to any other destination expect to the where the nature is at its best.

In true form, you and Devidas are absolute nature lovers. Kindly pass on my compliment to him as well.

Your pictures are as always mind blowing but i had a query, i see most of the pictures quite warm. Was that a deliberate effort or it happened naturally due to the color balance set?

I read up further more about the Kaziranga incident and I'm sure you know what happened next to the other two aboard the elephant.

Check this Super elephant.

Avi,
Thanks for your appreciation.
Nature is best everywhere, it just needs to be represented and promoted.
Saturation and contrast needed to be added in pp as we shot them in poor and fading light, subject in shadow and against the sun. Will convey to Devidas.
Now its time you Foodcentric Hyderabad T-BHpians need to get a bit Tigercentric and make a trip there, BUT get in touch with abheekg (Dr. Abheek Ghosh) to get the max of your endeavor, MC is already loading his Bolero just get hold of Rav and others.
Now after seeing the prowess of the tigers leap in the video, how many feel safe in a Gypsy that is open and just 3 feet from ground zero?
Regards,

Technocrat,
Thanks for the appreciation. It started off well, with minor hiccups in between and now back on the air and doing well again.

superb picture dude. Just looking at the thread name i decided to check out the details. Amazing pics especially of those cute little cubs and day light pics of deer etc. Some of low lights pics seems to have some ISO distortion though :(

Thanks very much for sharing the photos

With his kind permission I am posting it here.
Photographed at Bandhavgarh-Tala on 18th Feb 2010.

This growl is a prelude to a potential charge, the wide stance of the forelegs shows that she is fully prepared for the charge.

What a picture - wow. Seriously you guys should have a exhibition of your pictures at some art gallery and perhaps hold a talk on Tiger conservation efforts across the country

Rudra,
Sorry for getting that wrong. It was from an open gypsy.
