Beautiful portrait. The OOF vegetation in the foreground is a bit of a distraction. Where was this taken?

Butch,

I am prepared to ignore the unfortuately placed leaf , as the rest is great.

How is Bandhavgargh  nowadays?

Great portrait with excellent eye contact here Butch, I agree some of the fg grass is unfortunate but nothing you could do about thatdevil
