That is the Nanda Devi Peak. Taken in Ranikhet (Hill Station) after my tour to Jim Corbett National Park. This place is only 5 hours drive from Jim Corbett. Stayed in a Friend's beautiful Motel ... met him after a gap of 4 years ....
The shot is almost straight out of the camera...

Found the Leopard on a 30 feet tree top by sheer luck ... he was protecting its kill that was hung next to this might tree .... it was an amazing sight !!!

Went to Jim Corbett, found the cub on the last day of my stay. He/she looked furious when I picked up my camera to shoot it.

This season, many mommy tigers have given birth to cubs, & I tried my best to locate one mommy with her 4 cubs ... maybe on my next visit ... this fella was 30 feet away from the jeep & he was too weak to hunt & it seemed he got separated from her mother due to some reasons .... the only downside is he/she may not survive that long on its own ...

I'm keeping a TAB on its survival from the WARDEN of the park. Fortunately I met the warden & explained the situation of the cub. He was PROMPT to swing into action .... I'm sure he will do everything to protect the cub.

Will keep posted everyone on its health.

I have processed this shot 'too vividly' on purpose ....

Shot taken on 27th January 2011. Stitched 8 shots. Converted in b&w. Canon 7D + Sigma 17-70.
A dead-straight view of the Rashtriyapati Bhawan.
