Here are the pictures selected by the Jury for the Collection-34.
This Image was taken at Bidar, Karnataka in the month of Feb 2021. That day I was planning to get some images of Raptors but I hardly find any shot. I decided to come back home, suddenly I heard some clattering sound. It was Horn colliding sound of two Male Black Buck. They were fighting. I was silently crawled and took a good position and lie down. It was an evening time so light condition was not too good but I tried to manage and took this Deadly Fighting Shot.

A Moment in Motion After a 30-minute journey through the rust-red trails of Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve on a blazing summer afternoon, we arrived at a quiet waterhole where one of the resident tigress’s sub-adult cubs was known to frequent. The wait began under the relentless summer sun. For two long hours, the forest remained still, holding its secrets. Then, as the golden evening light began to filter through the tall trees, the wilderness came alive. A young tigress emerged silently from the forest edge — a two-year-old female, stepping into the open with remarkable composure. There was no urgency, no nervous glance, no sense of fear. She simply walked to the water’s edge and settled down, carrying the quiet confidence of a young tiger who had grown up protected by a mother that had secured this territory for her cubs over the years. As I watched her sit peacefully, I wondered what story this image should tell. A photograph of a tiger is often about power, intensity, and the frozen moment. But this one felt different. It was about stillness, grace, and the rhythm of the wild. Inspired by her calm presence, I intentionally slowed my shutter speed — choosing not just to capture the tiger, but to interpret the mood of the moment. The slight motion transformed the frame from a simple wildlife record into a piece of visual poetry. Sometimes stories do not need to be frozen in time. Some moments are meant to flow — gently, quietly, like the evening breeze moving through the forest. The wilderness has many voices. This was the voice of patience, peace, and a young tiger finding her place in the vast symphony of the jungle.

Any time , Any Opportunity ... I am in the wilderness
A foggy morning in Kaziranga turned into one of the most unforgettable wildlife moments I have ever witnessed. A curious tiger cub (Golden cub) crossed paths with a powerful rhino while its protective mother stood nearby, watching closely with the eyes of a guardian ready for anything. There was no roar, no attack, only a silent understanding between two giants of the wild. The mist, the tension, and the silence made this scene feel less like a photograph and more like a living story from the heart of the wilderness.

Fire tailed sunbird is really agile, took a lot of patience to get a shot when its coming to feed, the background is just right.
It was a bright, clear day, and the afternoon sun glowed celestially. And in that very moment, I witnessed the bounty of nature's wonder. A boisterous sub-adult cub was mock-charging a hog deer while crossing a river. The whole scene unfolded a story that would only lie in the eyes of the beholders. Shot this scene at Corbett Tiger Reserve

Last glow of the day! A Cormorant takes its position for the night on a tree at Bharatpur, Rajasthan. With the sun about to set, the light was fast fading and the movement of the sun towards the horizon meant that the relative position of the bird also kept changing. I had to try different positions and angles to get the silhouette perfectly against the orange halo.

This image of a female leopard carrying her cub was captured in Pench Tiger Reserve, one of the most unforgettable moments I have witnessed in the wild. We first spotted the leopard standing on a hill, visibly alert and cautious, almost as if she was preparing herself for something important. A few seconds later, she disappeared completely into the vegetation. When she emerged again, I noticed she was carrying something in her mouth. At first, we assumed it was a kill. I quickly tried to get a few frames, and then it suddenly registered, it was a cub. For a brief moment, I completely froze. It is difficult to describe what that realization felt like. There was a strange mix of shock, excitement, and disbelief all at once. Eventually, instinct took over, and I managed to capture this frame. To me, this image represents a side of leopards we rarely get to witness, not the elusive predator, but the mother. Careful, protective, and carrying the future of her lineage through the forest in complete silence.
About Photographer
I’m a wildlife photographer based in Bangalore, India, with a deep focus on documenting Indian wildlife in its truest form. My interest lies not just in capturing striking visuals, but in telling honest stories—of the land, the light, the silence, and the lives that exist within it.
Over time, I’ve moved away from chasing clean, polished frames. I’m more drawn to the wild as it actually is—unpredictable, imperfect, and deeply real. I believe that every encounter, no matter how fleeting or chaotic, holds something worth paying attention to.
My approach is simple: observe more than I shoot, and stay honest in how I present what I see. It’s not about perfection—it’s about staying true to the moment, and letting the wild speak for itself.
A craziest moment ever happened where i photographed the one of the most amazing moment usually honey buzzard don’t come on grounds they perch on a tree or high in sky flying but this time due to the scorching summer it came down to quench its thirst i flatly laid down and waited for the moment and i photographed it .
