Nice use of side lighting here Vinay, with the Oxpecker coming in to roost quite effective. Lovely golden color & comp, with perhaps a slight crop off the bottom for mine. Was this a large crop?

Vinay, I prefer your original post (sorry Marc ;)), however I might just tweak a little in curves and straighten the horizon with the ruler tool in PS.

Like the crop on the repost Vinay. Very nice, but reposting has lost some of the sparkle. Worth some TLC

Vinay, I prefer your original post (sorry Marc ;)), Steve

I do too Steve, a little too much taken off the bottom now.

This is a place I would love to visit. I like the light, warm colours, and would just take a bit off the bottom.

Nice image. I like the oxpecker framed by the giraffe. I would crop a bit more to remove the hint of that ditch/depression?? from the bottom left corner in the repost. Also, straightening the horizon as pointed out would strengthen the image.

Cheers,
