It was late evening in the Western range of Kaziranga National park. I had just finished my evening elephant safari and was getting ready to head back to my camp for a hot cup of tea when I noticed this wild water buffalo crossing the jeep track.
He was quite far away and the light was pretty low. But, then I somehow managed to take this shot hand held. There is a slight shake in the frame, but I feel it gives a special effect. I like the way the jeep track meanders in the centre of the frame and the beginning of mist forming in the background. And amidst all this there is this wild water buffalo staring at me. It is such moments that fuel my passion for India’s wildlife.
It certainly is a beautiful image. Love the composition and the air of mystery that it has.
