Visit to Gir

I was in Gir (Gujarat) recently along with 2 friends. Had been there just to take photographs. Well, we did sight the elusive lions - 10 of them over a period of 4 days apart from various other animals and birds. The over all experience of being in the jungle was amazing... More about those images later. However, this lotus happened to be in a small man-made pool in the forest resort itself where we stayed.

Awesome pic Vimal. Great composition! Looks like you are a photography freak like I am. My kids are always teasing me about how an hour long hike in the mountains takes three hours for us because I am constantly stopping and clicking away!

Yeah, beautiful pic...extraordinary clarity.
In 1985 our batch in Rly Traffic visited Gir, Veraval, Dwarkadhish and Somnath Temple.It was a memorable trip. At Gir, for the first time in my life, I saw a pride of lions lolling in the open...lazy fellows-they seemed as though they were bored of us and some of them even had the audacity to yawn! I think we also went to a crocodile farm nearby .

Thanx, folks!
TAS: I missed that Crocodile Farm. For us it was just rides and rides and more rides into the jungle...
KAUSTY: Thatz a natural one... + available light.

vims it was the way the black backdrop has been handled that has really lit up the flower especially the core which looks like molten lava.

As far as I can rmbr. (from the days where on an evening stroll, one would have to stop by Oriental Studio and ask "Hai Kiye, aama photo aaji aakka ready habara thilla paraa") Vimal was keen on photography and was good at it (AFAIK).
