Yes Harshad, I do like this. Would possibly do a slight CC rotation but love the look of the buck and the blurred background. Very nice indeed (I'm a sucker for antelope pix).

Very well done Harshad. Love the comp and inclusion of environment. Not sure about rotation as distant bg lines appear to be ok. Will leave up to you as you know the lay of the land. Wonderful colors and exposure. TFS

Harshadbhai, I like the alert pose, colours, and the buck is nice and sharp. Its always difficult to judge sloping lands, as the buck look fine in relation to standing vertical. The BG line does need a slight CCW rotation, and if you did rotate it, it wouldnt harm the pose of the buck.

lovely image Bhai - I like that the line in BG doesn't "decapitate" her :) good depth and exposure
I agree with you using the line in BG as horizon as she is standing downhill away from us.

Hi Harshad

Great environmental shot with subtle/delicate colours that all work extremely well. Good detail and the processing has also been treated in a sympathetic manner too. Would agree about a slight rotation, but would also suggest reducing the height of the sky as it's too equal 50/50.

Not sure about the extra Gaussian Blur, good camera skills should take care of that. ;)
