This image was clicked in April 2023 in Kanha Tiger Reserve. It was late in the evening and the safari was about to get over, suddenly we spotted a beautiful tigress in the meadows getting ready from her slumber. Always wanted to capture a Yawning tiger in the grasslands.

|| A new Hope || A baby olive ridley turtle moves towards the sea where it eventually belongs. This journey they make from hatching to the sea is full of danger like crows, brahminy kites, feral dogs, etc. This is a peaceful moment for the turtle as it has almost reached the water and was quite near to his destination.

Owl in the cyclone. I started birding photography by taking pictures of Spotted owlets. When all travel was stopped at the lockdown, I found a spotted owlet in Bahadurpur Forest, 20km from my house. Slow shutter with panning the camera. After nearly two years of experimentation with more than twenty thousand pictures were taken on the owlet and By the grace of God. The biggest challenge for me is I will take this picture in single exposure. Then I was able to take only three pictures.

After 3 dry safaris, the action unfolded as T-101 and T-39(Noor) engaged in their mating rituals in zone 6 of Ranthambore Tiger Reserve. Mating is a painful process for the female and she routinely roars in pain. This was the moment when the male retracted and jumped back, to avoid a painful blow from the female after a round of mating

The spider just completed the molting process and tangling below its exoskeleton. Location - Bardoli, Surat, Gujarat
On my way back from the Temple of Ranthambore, I saw this Monkey forcing the female to mate. Got this moment captured to show how the Male dominates in most of the species. It cant get any better in the case of these animals but we humans, being privileged must respect every individual and promote equality.
About Photographer
I still remember my childhood days, when I used to sit for hours - observing the activities of the little ants, the birds and the stray animals. On getting my first Smart Phone - on clicking that first picture that's still behind my eyes, I realised that "Wow, this is something amazing." I could now capture the moments I witnessed and let others see those too. After learning photography basics from mobile, I finally got my first Camera - Canon 700d. What I used to think of as a fun activity had now became my passion. I dived more into this thing and finally started my journey of Wildlife Photography. 8 months back I bought a professional wildlife kit and now ready for unlimited crazy experiences..!!!
On our 2nd day in Kibber, we were waiting for news of a Snow Leopard sighting from the trackers and one of the staff mentioned the Ibex herd. While the herd was quite far and they were still walking, I thought of making an old cherished frame of Ibex on the snow. I just had to walk a little distance to the position to get the long-pending frame.
The morning started in the Bandhavgarh with the usual tracking of the tiger movements. While passing by a small stream, we heard the alarm calls of Spotted Deer. The call was coming from very close and continuous, which was a clear indication that a predator was on the move. I anticipated that a tiger will be coming out from the undergrowth. To my great surprise a spotted deer busted out of the undergrowth and in a flash ran across the stream, followed by a tiger on its tail. This picture was captured while the tiger was running through the stream.
