Star Male, due to the star shaped black mark above his left eye, is the king of the lakes area which is the most famous area of Ranthambhore, thanks to the numerous documentaries made here. Here he gives me a piercing look on one early summer morning.

Yes the light definitely makes this one, like a spotlight on the cat amid the dark forest. Nice low perspective too.

The beautiful early light and selective focus all adds to the air of mystery here - so appropriate for these magnificent animals. This lovely image gives the feeling of a secret peep into their world.
