    Hi Haseeb, I think you did well with the DoF as it's only the front lower jaw that is tailing off ever so slightly and a yawning shot can be hard to pull of, a hint more with a higher ISO I think you would have been spot on. As presented I like the slight lean into frame, however this is a crop, I might try a wider shot, with the feet ALL in, this may also help the IQ & sharpening, to me it's bordering on a looking a fraction crunchy???? Although I do find myself disappearing into that open/gapping mouth. As the whites look good I assume the depth of saturation in the coat is that rich???

    TFS

    Hi Haseeb - Good to see something a bit different and Steve has covered the crit well. I believe he is asking whether the coat is that red and guessing that it is since the whites look well balanced and free of color.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Haseeb wow , never seen an image like this of this species .
    So you did well i first place , i like the comp and all the detail in the open mouth with all sorts of stuff to look at .
    You have a nice tonality and the colors do look ok to me as far as i can say from other images of this species , i might just give the reds a bit more tone without pumping up the colors . Or just add some + 0,3 - 0,5 exp but use a channel as mask ( red would be good in this case )
    I am fine with the crop , but can also see a tighter 4x5 crop to loose the legs .Agree with Steve about the tiny bit crunchy look .

    Good to see another species , TFS Andreas

    The first yawning shot I've seen of this species. Nice detail and composition here, Haseeb.
    Is it a tad too "red"? Having not seen them I can't say for sure.

    Hello Morkel : the redness is in line with their actual coat , that even gets vibrant during winters :)
