Sanjeev,
I do like it. Good color and interesting action. Have you tried cropping some from the left hand side of the image. As is, the action seems a bit too centered. If it were mine (and i do), I might try reducing the contrast and/or clarity a bit, especially on the background.

Hi Sanjeev -- lovely light and nice interaction . As far as composition is concerned i would have tried a vertical comp by cropping from both left and right side, also a slight midtone boost will add some punch to it . TFS !

Hi Sanjeev - nice to see something a bit different. Techs looks good. I like Gabriela's crop. If it were mine I would drop the yellows about -10 in HSL layer. It looks like the light was nice but for me there's too much yellow in the greens of the trees and the whites of the lechwe.
TFS,

Lovely moment and light in a typical Okavango setting.
Gabriela's crop was exactly what I had in mind after first viewing the image.
Good suggestion by Rachel on the yellows...

Hi Sanjeev, sparring bucks, nice to see.
Regarding the overall comp (and subject to what is below) I would just simply move the whole crop down to the top trim of Gabriela's RP, this hopefully would provide a better, cleaner and more solid trim edge so you 'sandwich' the subjects. It just looks a bit messy with the tapering grass and waters edge. Also I might have gone to f/5.6 based on the distance and so you would also get a more compressed BKG, but not as good as a fixed lens like the 500. The central placement works, I doubt being off centre would add anything more. Purely from an ethetical look, I would blend/clone out the dead branch on the left of the bucks rear as it would provide a 'cleaner' look without being clinical.
