[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A handsome Yak - loving to be snapped.

Yak has a dense undercoat of soft, close-matted hair which is covered by generally dark brown to black outer hair. It has long and shaggy coat. Yak can weigh up to 1000 kg (2200 lb) with a shoulder height of over 2 m (6.5'). It is found in treeless uplands, including plains, hills, and mountains, from as low as 3200 m (10,500') up to the limit of vegetation at about 5400 m (18,000'). It stays in high areas with permanent snow during the warmer months of August and September, and spends the rest of the year at lower elevations. It grazes on grasses, herbs and lichens.

A presence to be reckoned with, it appears, Mukesh.
Good details, lighting, and composition.
I especially like the eye contact and little bit of attitude coming from your subject in this fine posting.
Thank you for sharing it with us.

I love this one Mukesh.
A really excellent photo,perhaps cropped a little close on the left and top.An excellent note as well makes this a great all round post.
Well done and thanks.

I like yaks, they usually look dangerous in Nepal!
