Here are the pictures selected by the Jury for the Collection-18.
Tigress Junabai - The Queen of Madnapur, Tadoba. I've visited TATR a lot of times, however, I never got a glimpse of her. I've heard so many stories about her and how she went through a difficult phase when she lost her cubs. Now, we've spotted her with two cubs and I could clearly see how happy she was. This photograph was shot after they took a dip in the water. Here the mother is assessing the situation, considering the number of gypsies to eventually let the cubs know that it's safe to now walk further.

After some times when many vehicles reach there and started to making sound, chaos then he moved towards right sight the road and enter to the dense jungle.

Togetherness - The herd forms a strong social bond and communicate each other in order to face natural threats around them and thereby protecting themselves from the predators. Picture taken at Dhikala, Jim Corbett National Park during early Sunrise.
I captured a striking image of a black-headed ibis with an astonishing prize—a massive bullfrog locked in its wide beak. The ibis's successful hunt in the wetlands showcased its sharp focus and skilled hunting techniques. Nature's resourceful predator in action, a captivating moment that revealed the ibis's ability to seize its prey and thrive amidst the vibrant wetland ecosystem.
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..!!!
