I like the orange colors and the misty mood, however I feel there is too much "room" on top, perhaps a wider aspect ratio cropping. Do you perhaps have another image that is more composed around the trees?

[Nick Palmieri]

Hey Harshad, very nice feel to this image. Love the colors and love the mood. I agree that taking something off the top may strengthen this.

[Dave Mills]

Hi Harshad, Nice overall feel to the image with the trees well spaced and no merges. Agree about too much room on top. This image would lend itself well to a pano. Would also have preferred the dominant tree on the far left have more room from the edge. Finally, there looks like a dust bunny near the 2nd tree in from the rt...

[Morkel Erasmus]

can't add more than Dave's suggestions, but love the mood and the typical Serengeti scenery here...nice one!

[Hilary Hann]

Very nice Harshad. Would agree to trying some pano crops and I think you need to check for dust bunnys or some light flare as there are a couple of spots between the trees which need attention.

[Ed Cordes]

Love the colors. A pano with some sky cropped off - say to just above the top of the wispy clouds - would have more impact to me.

[Don Lacy]

Hi Harshad, I agree with everyone else on cropping this even more into a pano

Hey Harshad,
That light doesn't last long!!! I like the suggestions above so I hope you got a few different compositions as the colors and mood are fantastic.

[Kaushik Balakumar]

Lovely colours Harshad. Nice selection of trees and the mist/dust on the ground adds a lot to the mood of the image.
Personally, I think that the amount of space on top is just fine.
You might want to clone out the sensor dust spots.

[Andrew McLachlan]

Harshad, lovely colors and mood, agree with crop suggestions above.

[Robert Amoruso]

Pano is a nice idea but I like the big sky look too.
