Aftab, one request. Would be great if you can post the exif data of your pics as well. How did you manage such a shallow depth of field on the monkey head shot.

Thanks
Moin.

Amazing friendship. See the Little Cormorant and White throated kingfisher sharing the same rock top. One is watching fish another one taking SUNBATH .

HI Aftab,
> Very well captured images of life in the wild :D
> Three things I liked...
1. Composition / Framing
2. Exposure / Depth of field
3. Story Value
> Lastly the 'Mood" of the subject / Timing
> Am just yearning to see more....
