    Beautiful light.
    Would rotate this CCW to level the horizon and make this a tight pano by cropping a lot of the FG out, that is, cropp some of the bottom off.
    I would also add a bit more contrast.
    Lots of potential with this iamge,

    Hi Gunjan, I like you choice of crop, however I would look to Rule of Thirds (RoT's) so in moving the crop up you have less FG and more sky, providing you have image content, although an easy fix to add it if your ethics allowed. I too like the warmth, but this maybe due to the file not having a proper embedded colour profile i.e. sRGB, this could be due to a simple check box not being ticked. Regarding the rotation it might be optical, as the tree line is horizontal, but the land/hedgerow does tapper on the LHS producing this slight incline illusion, might be worth a look? Quickly looking at the image, in Levels the black does fall short, however moving the LH slider in to around 14 brings back some of the tonality missing, it doesn't quite touch the axis, if it did then the black starts to clip so I would back off just a fraction i.e. 14, but your call on % figure. Love the spring Buck and nicely framed so no animal is clipped or truncated.

    Thanks for sharing and please feel free to commenting on other postings to.

    Hi Gunjan - Welcome to the Wildlife Forum. A nice first post. Beautiful light and nice action with the jumping buck. Good suggestions by Gail and Steve above to take the image up a notch.

    One of the best ways to get the most out of BPN and to quickly become part of the community is to participate in other people's threads. We recommend posting comments on at least 3-5 other wildlife images each time you post one of your own. Your comments don't have to be technical in nature just tell us what you like and don't like.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    A nice scene, lovely light. I can't add more to what's been said above - though I would consider cropping some off the bottom and right-hand-side?

    Lovely pano - I would lose some of the bottom and add at the top. I wouldn't add more blacks as I like the dreamy effect.
