Hi Jayanand,

Wonderful set, I love these very special fantastic great Indian parcs! The 
story of the capture of the panther is exciting, my favorite pictures are 
Black Ibis and Gaur - mother and calf, also the sequence of I call the 
tiger's bath.

Thanks for sharing, I hope see more, we are going to a good season for you!

Cheers
Lluis
