.... it pays to tread cautiously.... for danger lurks at every corner of the swamps and dense mangroves.... and the waters are murky and deep.... where Estuarine Crocodiles lie in wait.... but the land belongs to the Royal Bengal Tigers.... some of them are man eaters.... probably the only confirmed man eating mammal.
Sunderbans Biosphere Reserve, India.... a World Heritage Site....  the Chital Doe proceeds cautiously.... every sense on the highest alert.... death is but a way of life here.

A well composed image and the introduction tells it all, the detailed Doe pops out the the complementary BG.

A lovely image in natural habitat Pralay. Life is not easy for prey species, and all her senses are on alert here.

A touch more room at the bottom to allow for her feet would be even better.

Nicely done image showing this little one in its environment, definitely quite aware and alert to the surroundings!
