Sarat Talluri‎Sanctuary Asia 13 hrs ·    ·   MORNING YAWN OF HIS MAJESTY THE USTAD OF RANTHAMBORE

Story Behind this Shot: We were depressed to the core for not sighting tiger since last 7 safaris except for a glimpse once. Started early morning and where going on a road near a water stream looking for his or her majesty. Suddenly Suman Sumant Pinnamaneni yelled that he saw something nearby and we missed. We went back again and saw a beautiful scene. His majesty USTAD basking in the morning sun on a tree trunk and besides the water stream relaxing. He was missed by experienced guide and also driver but we were lucky to have Sumant with us. Ustad was in full relaxing mood and was rolling over, yawning ....at 7 am morning. You can see for yourself how USTAD was relaxed and gave us full yawn !!!

Exif: Aperture priority with aperture 5, evaluative metering with exposure bias of + 0.7, ISO 4000 yielded a shutter speed of 1/1600 on a backlit subject at about 7 am.
