Thank you so much Bruce! I have seen some massive Asiatic rushers at Corbett National Park…These 2 images are exactly about the perspectives like you said..the elephant looks much smaller in the frame where it is swimming whereas the same guy looks massive after he got off the water and walked head on…

Wow, this guy is a real beauty. We rarely see Asian elephant big tuskers... nicely done. I also really love the perspective of the swimming elephant... beautiful warm light.

Thank you very much Bruce! This is by far the most co-operative leopard I have had the opportunity to photograph so far. He was so bold and kept posing for us like he was some kind of a studio model! Golden evening light was a cherry on top.

These are fantastic.. I love the eye contact in these shots and your use of foliage to frame the animal.

I recently purchased this impeccable lens. Had the opportunity to visit a Tiger reserve and was really thrilled by it's result. Still to get to grips with it full functioning. Here is one shot of a tiger named " Chota Dadiyal" from Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve of Central India shot at 560mm @ f4, ISO 3200, 1/1000's

New babies this year...
Unlike prior years, the babies are not hanging out together, but every once in a while, the mother owls hangs with an owlet.
Image was shot this morning around sunrise..

Stunning shot, Bruce!
Thanks Lance...
You know, I normally take the sharpness down on my pictures and apply a bit of a glow to them. In this case, I felt as if the eye contact and plumage deserved to be seen with all of its detail intact

Sure do love the light on these Bruce!!
Thanks George...
The shot was made during sunrise and the owls are nesting in the woods. I waited out the sun so I could get some good light on their faces while preserving the more heavily shadowed woods in which they are currently living.
