Good one , I like composition.

[Saktipada Panigrahi]

Agree with Vipin Bhai that composition looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Debasis Bhai,
Are you sure that it is a hind ! If so, this hind has well developed mane on the throat, a rare morphological feature.
Kind regards,
SaktiWild

Nice sighting in the dense vegetation. I liked the greenery. Good head turn and eye contact. Nicely captured. Thanks for sharing.

[Shyamala Kumar]

Nice alert look captured.Like Saktipadaji I too wondered " Is it really a hind?"

[John Gryphon]

Definitely a hind.

[Roopak Gangadharan]

I haven't seen so much of "beard" in a doe. Overall it looks "masculine" though masculinity is not an id feature. Wish it was not hidden behind foliage. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I have a photo of a hind taken here blessed with so much mane/beard that it makes the hind in the above photo look 'bald' in comparison.
She walked out one very late evening,it was quite a few years ago with her stag calf warily walking 20 metres behind.
I had a very ordinary fuji camera with me hence the poor quality photograph.

Dear All, To remove all the doubts the image is of a hind. This was one of the mating pair. Will post the image of the stag tomorrow. Cheers Debasis
