    Hi Sanjeev, that is one, very, very nice image.

    DOF looks spot on, even though I would have preferred 5.6, LOL, likewise the depth & clarity, I even like the blades of grass coming in from the RHS. I will leave it for others for colour and crop etc, but perhaps you could loose a sliver off the top?

    Nice work.

    TFS

    This is your best image posted to date. Image quality, processing, colour - it's all spot on. Well done Sanjeev, you've come a long way!

    Hi Sanjeev,

    very well done, like it all. Just a slight thing on the side, thought you watch your whites on the LHS that white stripe behind the mouth/lip. Looks a tad to white/burnd. Might would turn that down a tad. But overall I love it how you did it.

    Have a nice eve

    Ciao

    Hi Sanjeev - I agree, your best to date. Nice job in the field and in pp. Colors look good and so does the detail. I think Anette means the whites at the corner of the mouth on the rhs as we are looking at the lioness but easy to fix.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Sanjeev, if you use ACR or LR just pull the Highlights or Whites back a tad, you can actually see the change happening.

    Really nice lighting with good detail here Sanjeev, might try lightening the eyes just a tad.
