I made a quick visit (2-days) to Daroji bear sanctuary. This is my third visit to this beautiful place. I thought Daroji is the best place to photograph sloth bears in India. I have some second thoughts on it now. No doubt it is the best place to see them - but is it the best place for bear photography ? I personally feel very challenged to make natural looking images of them. Those who have visited Daroji may be able to relate what I am talking about. I spent just one day from vehicle hide near usual place and second day decided to stay off that place hoping to make some natural looking (at least) images of them. But both days it rained heavily. Not much of images from this trip - but lots of learning for the next one…
Well, next one will be THE one, am sure!

Nice visualisation there ganesh. It just shows the scene with the storm approaching. I totally second you on your thoughts, though the place is abundant with bears its tough to make “satisfactory natural looking” images of it. It indeed was a good learning experience. I am sure your next visit will yield you some stunning results and all your efforts will pay off.
