Upclose & personal with the fastest creature on earth

[manindra_m]

This was one of the best moment of my trip to Little Rann of Kutch. Had never been able to photograph a peregrine falcon and over the last few years every other video and photo of this magnificient raptor had taken over my imagination to a point of obsession... where I had insisted the guide that the morning safari should solely be dedicated to tracking this raptor. And after roaming around in the vastness of the salt desert , we finally were able to get a glimpse of this raptor. Parked the jeep at a distance and crawled almost odd 200m to get upclose and personal. And boy did she reciprocate ....close to 60 minutes of tete-a-tete with no interruptions. Sharing one of the many shots that I captured for your viewing. C&C welcome

P.S. : As suggested by an esteemed forum member Krish, did a vertical crop which i also realized looks better
