Wide angle portrait of lion from Maasai Mara. I tried to compose the road as a leading line following the lion all the way to the tree in the background. The dramatic sunset added nice colours at the top of the frame as well. Let me know what you think.

One of my morning walks in Theog on a village track I found this Jungle Owlet quietly resting, maybe closing it’s day, I mean the night. The morning Sun was shining on it from the left and I wanted to capture it like half light and shadow. Let me know what you think.

We were around a water body in PTR , a couple of Asian paradise fly catcher would dive on the surface of water and take off. Did not have the zoom to capture it from close so tried taking a habitat kind of shot.
