Very well done, Dinesh...even mother nature cooperated , sunlight in just the right spots... how long a telephoto lens did you end up using for this must be relatively high up in the branches.... I have been periodically looking at the pictures during this day, every time I look at it, makes me wistful that I was there atleast to have seen it... I always like this play of light and shadow... Looked at your series on flickr too loved it
