Hello Aruna,
Went through your entire gallery - you are definitely a lone roving photographer!
I loved the shots of the savannah. The orange hues and the chalky buff highlights are very rich and intense. The baleful glare of the lion makes a great study as does the three-quarter shot of the cape buffalo in all its feral potential.
Also, the image for the book's dust jacket is an excellent choice. The tropical imagery in the foreground gives way to the aridity of the African sward in the background. I am okay with the vehicles in the background since it gives a human touch to the photo. You might want to use a simple sans serif font, though, as this would complement the texture of the vegetation and sward
However, I wish you had taken more images like the "Night Light Experiment" which I find very seductive as it allows one to immerse onself in the materiality of the subject matter. The Notra Dame Basilica has a similar effect though it is not as intense as the NLE. Moonlight is special too. I love the ambience that has been captured. I suppose this must be my architectural training that needs to focus on mood and materiality. You are going places my Friend; I look forward to seeing your future creative works.

Hi Aruna, I found that your Cabot Trail images really pulled at my heart strings as it brought back memories of my trip there in 2001. It was the most amazing place I've visited on the East Coast so far.
