Caught Grinning - 27

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2013.

This was at Kuruva Islands, Wayanad, Kerala, 11/Nov/2012, 03:33 PM. I casually clicked this picture when my wife was talking to my son pointing to something on the other side of the river.

Later, we were surprised when we noticed that, the angle with which I had shot the frame had made the depth in the picture almost invisible... and hence it seems as though, with one finger, she is blocking that person with the baby from falling backwards! 

Take a look at the full picture and then the zoomed-in view!

Caught Grinning - 26

This was at Lamb's Rock in Ooty, 03/Apr/2012, 12:38 PM. When I saw the monkey and goat come in front of each other, I clicked these two pictures within a span of 5-6 seconds. What I had clicked casually, resulted in a funny scene: The first one makes them appear as though they were about to fight with each other. But, the latter shows that they just passed across each other and there was no fight!

Caught Grinning - 25

This was at Ross Island in the Andaman Islands. This slanted kangaroo bin tied by its neck to the coconut tree besides it... made a grinning sight!

+ The 5 MP Camera with auto-focus gives good results.
