On the prowl... Cats get most of the attention in India, but i do hold a soft spot for the canines too. I had never seen any Jackals in this park until recently and now i have found two pairs! Stunning to get close enough to have clear shots of them! :) Canis aureus indicus,Geotagged,India,Indian jackal,Spring Click/tap to enlarge Promoted

    Great spotting. This brown warm tone really is a signature of you, great that you have your own style. Posted 10 years ago

      Thanks! I'm not sure if it is my signature or just me trying to recreate the correct white balance to as close to the scene as possible. Either way, it seems I do favour the warmer side of life! :) Posted 10 years ago
