Hi Sandeep,
Welcome to the forum. You have a lot going on in this image. The mood is nice but it appears you needed a bit more DOF......sacrificing some SS for that would have been an easy in the field fix. Not easy to get seperation on all those animals.....but you did pretty well there. I feel the FG birds and water don't add much to either the mood or feel....so cropping it out is an easy fix for that. A bit of dodging and burning selectively will also allow for more seperation between the animals.....just some food for thought.

Hi Sandeep - I like the mood, and agree with Roman that the FG doesn't add much here. I'd try for more of a pano crop.

Sandeep,

Roman's suggestions are right on. Additionally, move left and getting in front of the deer would have giving you a better vantage point looking at the front of the animals and not have then heading away from you.

Welcome to BPN and the landscape forum.

Love the misty feel. Nice image of the fauna in their casual behaviour. Might crop off a bit from the bottom to exclude the water.
