Some extreme processing here, went a bit out of the box. Do not have more space on right, decided not to crop left for comp; emphasising the dust.

Welcome to OOTB Andre! I find my eye going to the action in the center of the frame, great moment captured! It looks like you applied a gradient top and bottom. I wonder if you applied a little less on the top it would still emphasize the scene and the dust. Hope to see more of your posts!
Trying to emphasize the dust (and action) I would crop from the left a bit.
Wonderful action -- these things look dangerous. It would be worth adding some canvas on the right and trying to fill it in. Sometimes the results, with a little touchup cloning, are amazing.
Welcome to OOTB!!
I like this a lot -- the color, the action, and the fact that the background enhances the foreground rather than competing with it. The composition is terrific. I wouldn't crop from the left because the wildebeest (at least I think that's what it is) on the left is placed very well in terms of divine proportions. It is a bit tight on the right. However, if you're editing with Photoshop CS6 or later, that's easy enough to fix with the Content Aware Move tool.

Thank you all for commenting and the suggestions:bg3:
Sorry I reply so late, but was waiting to do RP with suggestions.
Never used the Content Aware Move tool previously, but I had to make time and learn!
Thank you Dennis for making my Toolbox bigger:S3:, tried and herewith RP with suggestion, WDYT? (very difficult cloning there, any suggestions?)
Jackie, I lifted the shadows a bit on top with a masked curves layer, better?
Worked of the TIFF saved version.
Excellent! Don't you love what we can do these days?!
Looks good to me. You're using your new tool with great skill.
