    nice sharpness and quirky pose from the one in focus, Sanjeev.
    I am not sold on the OOF one in front - either both needed to be in focus or the front one alone?
    Clarity and detail looks to be probably the best I've seen from you here on BPN!
    I would have liked a bit more of the rock below them than the empty space on top - the tightness at the bottom bugs me.

    Hi Sanjeev - I agree with Morkel that this would have worked much better either with just the one hyrax or with enough dof to have both in focus. Unfortunately, the oof one is too dominant for my tastes. I also agree that the one in focus looks sharp and to have some of the best IQ of the images you have posted. Keep 'em coming.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Agree on both critiques above. IQ on your primary subject looks spot on with great details. The BG is quite distracting to my eyes, esp the white portion.

    Hi Sanjeev, issues already covered, however I would either try to tone down the bright highlight in the BKG, or simple crop, as I feel you can get away with a more elongated format on this one. If you had the time, and these guys were quite relaxed with you being there, then I think perhaps letting the OOF one get out of frame and then focus/concentrate on the main one. Also in this instance I think the option of using a 1.4 extender would have been good, although you would lose SS, but upping the ISO would quite easily deal with that point.

    TFS
