Nice image, I wish I could see more in the horizon, the backlight and the stride works well.

I like this unique perspective, the radiating lines and the monochromatic graphic effect works.

Amazing image, love this different wide angle shot, the spread out ears make this image, the textures of the Elephants and the blue sky still comes across inspite of the main subject being in shadow.

Nice graphic image, apart from what Ganesh has said, it would be nice if the horizon was not centered. Lucky you get an arrangement like this.

Very interesting perspective like how the elephant and the tree come together in spite of this asymmetrical presentation

Lovely wide angle perspective, wish there was some dramatic light. I think a use of fill flash sidelit with underexposing the overall scene would have made the lizard stand out.

Ganesh, the use of selective focus and the graphical nature of the elements come together so well. This image is a masterclass on how to use the TS lens and also you need not go far to make compelling nature images.

Lovely to see a colorful image from you Ganesh, the monsoon feel comes across nicely. I like the scale of depiction, the raised wings of the insect actually makes it to stand out so much rather than tame one. The antennae (?) and the wings compliment so well. Reminds me of the recent Africa TV series where a lizard is hopping around a lion. I would not mind going in close by cropping.

Love the feel here Saurabh, wish the bird was a little lower the eye could actually travel more in the frame. In nature we take what it gives. The mood settles in so well here

Welcome to CNP Angad, a lovely opening image. I like how the spotlight brings focus to the beetle. The hint of black in the right tones all around helps. I suggest if you are keen to shoot macro the need for a polariser is very important. Looking forward for your creations here.

I think one of the dangers of safari images is sometimes the subject is not to the desirable portrait standards but the light and play works to create mood images. In this case it falls a little short of conveying the mood. I suggest a b/w conversion with some burn around to bring about the spotlight effect. Hope I understood the image well. I suggest writing a few lines in cases on such images.

Nice image this Abhijit, the birds leaving the frame work well, CNP as a forum is not instinctive, most of the members take time to go over the images again and again and then respond. I am undecided about having the second bird in the edge, it sort of distracts but at the same time adds. It was nice talking to you.

Loved the Chiaroscuro effect, the motion makes it so special. I think we grossly underestimate our beautiful spotted deer, wish there a good body of work on the chital.

This is so good, I love how the OOF fg brings focus to the bird. Lovely subject should thank Ganesh for showing the way how to shoot. I did a different version of the same. Arun S K version is also up.

I remember reading a book by Andy Rouse where he has dedicated a chapter on the 'Red' zone of the image and how one can achieve that. That was in my initial days and I strived to get it and could get it easily. This is a lovely image taken much further because of a lovely interaction. The challenge remains 'is the mood the main stay or the setting?'. This actually works on both the fronts. I would suggest pulling back the reds a bit because it seems to take away rather than add.

Ghanshyamji, welcome to CNP, nice opening image. As a composition I would love to see the green twirl in the red. At the scale of depiction I think it is a crop because the critical sharp focus area is absent in the frame.

A fine setting, depicting a true jungle moment. The hint of color actually pushes up the image.

What a powerful image, the bringing of the elements in the right proportion really makes the image. I think its extremely important to convey conservation related work through such uncluttered images rather than through elaborate prose. One thing which comes to mind after see this image is, it makes me guilty that we humans in the development mode are an ongoing threat to the natural world.
