An oriental garden lizard showing breeding colors on it’s throat, I shot this by laying flat on the ground to go eye level with the lizard. I loved the red and black breeding colors shown by the lizard, due to the red throat these lizards are sometimes also called bloodsuckers.

Monitor lizard. Tried to use the foreground leaves to create a blur effect to frame the eye of the monitor lizard. Creates a mysterious mood and draws your attention to the eye. Let me know if this works.

During an evening safari in Chapramari Wildlife Sanctuary this November, the forest had already begun to wrap itself in soft, golden light. Just when the silence felt complete, a gentle tak-tak-tak echoed from a Sal tree beside the trail. There he was— a magnificent Greater Yellownape Woodpecker, glowing like a brushstroke of gold against the…
