I had to close-crop because I made a mistake in framing by chopping a small part of the tiger’s tail.

I felt the jeep behind was causing a distraction, so I just tried to remove it using the eraser tool.

Spotted the dazzling Indian Roller striking a pose like a true forest model.

After checking the RAW image, I found the ISO and exposure compensations should be a bit low, but by that time the roller had flown away. So I tried to manage the lighting and noise in post-processing.

Superbly taken, Prasenjit Ji. The bird was well-defined by the fantastic bokeh effect at f/6.3, and the sunlight falling on it from the right side of the frame is very striking.
