Stunning! You're brilliant! I love the vibrant colour and texture...you always bring out the best in anything you photograph
ok--had a good look at the pic..and not sure if my eyes are playing tricks (I have a photographically ignorant eyes .(is there a term like that? no idea)but it almost looks three dimensional.the colors are stunning as always...what is it btw..
i guess if the elephant intended to kill you, you would be dead! watch out for the buffaloes - my college-mates dad was killed by one while taking pictures somewhere thereabouts.
Just remember my friend.....no photo is worth the loss of life.
Lovely lovely photo, Suresh!
Stay out of harm's way for goodness sake!!!
And have a wonderful morning! :)
And yet it does not appear that your hands were shaking at all...I love the photo...it looks so pregnant...
Beautiful shot !!
It's always beautiful here.
watch it!

e2d, i was charmed by this wild jasmin flower, looking through my camera and wondering about the idead behind the design and fragrance ... why should, what appeals to a bee, appeal to me ? ... things like that. ... then i turned a bit and there was this bull elephant with lovely tusks, coming slowly but surely towards me ... at about 40 feet, we both stood still for a while starring at each other ... then, i dont know why, the fella desided to take a left turn and disappeared into the bushes ... the bull, 'chose' not to kill me ... what an honour ! really ... i felt amazingly peacefull, just continue my work ...
hi wendy eileen, am so glad to hear that from an awesome photographer ... thanks !
cheers !
hi david k, it was an awesome moment, to meet eyes with an asian bull elephant,on foot, they are so much more agressive than its counterparts in africa. nope, i could not get an ant shot, it was too thick and me all awe struck !
chinna, you are absolutely right, the elephant 'chose' not to kill me, it was just 40 feet away and theres no way i could have out run the bull.
yes, bisons (gaurs) are bloddy dangerous too, usually it happens when we cross a bush not knowing that theres a gaur sleeping inside it. its sad that your friends dad had an wild attack. thanks chinna, i try to be as alert as possible, never do casual walks with talkative friends inside the woods.
hi lorraine, even though its all dangerous, its worth every bit of it ... am so much more complete because of this ...
hi marc, i know what you mean ... but comparing it to driving on the roads am atleast 10 times lower in risk. but i will be more alert and the more time i spend the more am carefull. thanks again marc ... cheers !
hey hey hey patty ... thanks ... i will, you too ! take care !
hi wendy c ... read my reply to e2d ... it was not at all a threatning moment for some strange reason. pregnant ? he he ...
take care !
hi cres, thanks !
