    Hi Sanjeev - Nice eye contact from this buff. The placement in the frame works well for me. Good sharpness and the grass in the mouth adds to the image. Only thing I can't decide about is the green plant. I like the splash of brighter color but it draws the eye to the feet and rear of the buffalo.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Sanjeev you have created a great image from the technical POV for my taste , well controlled whites and blacks. I am fine with the overall comp and i actually like the splash of color . Agree with Rachel about the eye contact and the grass in the mouth .
    Well done in PP with a good IQ .

    TFS Andreas

    Hello Sanjeev,

    Impressive Buffalo image - this is well exposed, I like the pose as well as framing/composition, and... has anyone noticed with the little oxpecker below the subject's ear?

    The horns of the Buffalo look as if they have been "polished" for this photo shoot:)

    This is sharp where needed and everything else in good measure - great PP work Sanjeev!!!

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Classic frame here. My first thought when opening this was - High Key B&W!
    Did you try it?

    Thanks everyone. MOrkel, yes that thought crossed my mind too! It will solve the green plant 'issue' too :-) Will give high key B&W a shot and RP.
