> Hey! Wonder how many of you noticed "The Oddity" in Moin's first photograph of the guy painting the "GOOD Hair Cutting"....
> Have you????
> Did you notice that the painter is starting with the last alphabet "N" of the word SALOON????
> This painter probably is well versed with writing "Urdu" which he has nonchalantly applied to writing/painting English :D
> Moin - if that's another reason why you captured the image - hats off :D

Awesome pics guys!

Dr. that tonga pic is superb! And your pups are so cute!

Moin, a small suggestion - if you could add an identifier watermark or something which Doc Nishith has done. More so since you take a lot of portraits.

And yes..... that knife pic is the best of the lot!!
Cheers!

Now that you mention it, I can see the horse! Photographs, as in the old days, are meant to be printed and not seen on a 15" lappie screen with multiple reflections!!

Is that big bolt action gun yours?
Cheers!

A lot depend on your budget & intended use. Both Canon & Nikon offer excellent DSLR bodies & lenses.

Kumarnishith you got a lovey collection of species, whatever composition you execute succeeds better if you leave some breathing space around the subject.I have observer that the tighter composition is more favored among western photographers which is not exact fit for natural history.
