Shot this arnd 5:45AM in the morning in Dudhwa National Park, India. The light was pretty low. I wanted a shot from a distance, hence asked the driver to stop the SUV from far. Wish I could have got more DOF.

Canon EOS 1000D, Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM + Canon EF 1.4x II Extender
SS 1/40
F 5.6
ISO 400
Comments and critiques welcome. Shot using the window rim of the SUV as support.

PS: The image quality is low as this is linked from Blogger

Hi Bibhav,I like the mood created by the fog. Using the road as leading line is effective. For my taste I would have preferred the road to be sharp. That would of entailed using a higher fstop. Without the use of
the windowsill it would of been difficult getting the deer sharp. Also would of preferred the deer not merging with the tree stump but being in a vehicle didn't give you much of a shift in your position. I would crop the image from the left just past the brown foliage

Hi Bibhav...I agree with dave's comments and would add you might want to crop a bit off the bottom. This image has a real nice mood!

lovely mood and overall composition here - I second Dave's suggestions and also Bob's to crop from the bottom a bit as the out-of-focus road is a bit distracting...

Moody image. Well seen and photographed.

Hi Bibhav,
Very nice mood here. I agree with the crop suggestion just to strengthen the image overall as the shallow DOF isn't helping the FG.
