Lovely silhouette Tom. Nice mood here. Might crop a bit from the bottom, left & the right to slightly increase the ratio of the stags in the frame - but that's purely a personal preference :)
It is good as presented too showing vast expanse of land, sky.

Many Kaushik thanks for your kind comments and suggestion which are very much valued and appreciated.

An edit to the original - cropped on RH and a tad of the bottom:

Like the way the hill horizon comes from the LH bottom corner hence no crop there.

Tom,

I like your recrop and agree with the no crop from the bottom.

Hi Tom,
i am a huge fan of silhouettes........especially when they are done this well!.............i will offer 1 more option for you to explore.....which will work in your original post......and the re-post. Take some off the top (middle of the blue area on the left)...........to a true pano. I may prefer the original post with that crop..........both bucks in the ROT position and it leaves the darker cloud on the right.........but either way.......agree with leaving the bottom un-cropped. It's nice to have the luxury to crop in a # of ways..........so that is just credit to a nicely composed and exposed image!

Many thanks Roman for your valued comments, are you thinking along the lines of this crop:

Hey Tom,
