Gallery: 10 Years of NPNPosted April 27, 2010631 views9 comments

This happened to be my second post at NPN, about two years ago.I love shooting baby animals and this kind of frame always existed in the mind but was unable to capture it. About ten years later, after acquiring a 500mm lens, it was executed.
It was First runner up in EPA 2008 in the fauna section.
But before that:
It won second prize in a National level competition, in India.
It also won Highly Honored winner in Natures Best, 2007 competition.
It has been featured in Natures Best 2010 wall calender.
Thankyou so much for your kind attention & views!

That little one had better watch its step!! This is a terrific shot, and certainly worthy of the awards it's garnered. Excellent work.

This is a dream shot - certainly one of MY dreams too.
Maybe I'll get something 1/4 as perfect as this when i go to Botswana this fall.
Incredible image - and worthy of every award and more.
