    Hi Haseeb, a nice simple image design, only wish the egret was facing us, I like the wet legs & walking pose :-) You could crop a bit from top to eliminate the blue in the ULC.

    Agree a nice simple image think I would be happy with the Egret just standing there for me, do like the wet legs and trunk which give the impression of long boots.

    Hi Haseeb, the green provides a pop to the subject and I like the Egret riding on the back.

    I would extend the white area to lose the blue rather than cropping, but might look at coming up from the foot to just above your name so you have more green than patchy, although it may get to pano in it's format. At ISO1000 I would not even think about NR, you shouldn't need it, but the SS again seems a bit excessive, 1/1600-2000 would have been fine. Keeping things very simple, perhaps a straight forward Linear Curves adj might help?

    TFS

    Hi hasseb , lovely single elephant bull in a very clean environment .
    I like the overall look& feel .Good suggestion by Steve regarding the top of the frame .
    I might loose parts of the FG and go for a bit more of a pano look .
    And i just wish the heron would have looked not backwards

    Hi Haseeb - Sorry, late to this one. Nice walking pose and I too like the boots. Good suggestions above for comp. I agree that you didn't need such a high ss.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Thank you everyone ! I had more or less very high ss throughout this trip as i opted for high iso's but agree it wasn't required here .

    I too like how it pops against the green, Haseeb.
    I'd crop very tight pano here, from top and bottom?
