A leopard was stalking this group of warthogs at Okavango, and finally decide to go after them but seemed unsure which one to get! The Hogs ran in different directions, as if to confuse the predator. Went pano to show the sprawling landscape and hunting ground. Couldn't help the head angle as he was looking at the prey.

Hi Sanjeev, certainly fits he bill well, with all the wildlife in shot.
Technically it looks right, but optically I just wonder if say 1 degree CCW rotation may help, but it might be my eyes as I get the expression it's slightly running down hill? I also wonder if addicting an exposure drop to the sky area of say two thirds may help, whether you do the same but with less at the foot is personal choice, I just think it may bring a bit more focus by sandwiching the action???? Personally I might have gone to ISO2500, f/5.6 to gain more SS to freeze even more of the action.

Hi Sanjeev there is a lot going on in the frame , so well done on your capture :5.
I like the soft light and the overall tones , it is good that you have the subjects spread all over the frame . Pleasing colors and nice evening ? mood .
I agree with Steve regarding rotation , when looking at the horizon . I would also echo Steve´s thought regarding loosing some FG , but think it would be difficult to get the edge clean , but worth try .
Nice one Sanjeev , TFS Andreas
Nice frame , love the pano crop. It is natural that the leopard is looking at the potential prey and not the photographer.
Hi Sanjeev - Nice action and no problem with the leopard looking at the prey. Good suggestions by Steve. I also agree on the rotation.

Hi Sanjeev -- Nice moment and it fits the theme quite well ! Good suggestions by Steve and i too think it needs that slightest of rotation .
TFS !
A very informative shot - lots of interest I would trim the base to the top of the pale twig on the RHS and rotate slightly anticlockwise. You really had to be on the ball for this one and you were! Well done.
