    Love the action and low POV depicted here Sanjeev and of a species we don't see enough of here.

    A couple of issues stand out right away for me, the first that catches my eye is the brightly coloured 3 leaf branch across the rump of the RH deer and the other is the tight framing on the LHS, I gather this is F/F.

    If your ethics allow, the RH branch would be one to clone out and take this above the norm. Also is that a large dust cloud kicked up by this pair in the BG?

    Hi Sanjeev - Marc very well summed up my thoughts as well. Action, sharpness and pov all make this a fine image but it's tight on the lhs and the 3 leaves are a distraction. Colors and detail look good too.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hello Sanjeev,

    Thank you for sharing this image with us, indeed a species I have not seen before and I love the action you have captured.

    You are quite a master at capturing sharp images at low shutter speed, nice detail on the subjects - did you use a tripod? I would have liked a tad more space on the LHS but I guess it must have been difficult to frame, as the Deers must have moved a lot during their dispute:) Great POV, I really like the eyes of the subjects/ expression, the soft BG and FG as well as colours.

    Hope to see more from you in 2015, Happy New Year, and may it be a healthy, productive and successful one, whatever you do

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea
