Hi Haseeb, great angled pose here, and overall well exposed. The leaf in his mouth takes this up a few notches.

Haseeb you do post some wonderful images of animals that I am unfamiliar with ,thankyou!! I really like this gaur the shine and colour of his horns and those gorgeous ears. I sort of wish his nearmost ear was in a similar position to the rear one. I like your framing and as Stu says the half munched leaf adds so much. Very cool Haseeb thanks again for sharing this I really enjoy your work
take care

Hi Haseeb - Nice one overall, a pleasing pose and comp with the surrounding foliage. The colors look good. If it were mine I would tone down the bright spots, one to the left of and one above the left horn. I would also tame the highlights on the tip of the nose.
TFS,

Nice portrait with good detail....I feel the crop is a bit tight in the front for my taste but maybe you have done it as there were a lot of leaves in front of the animal.
I would look at the nose as the shiny part pf the nose seem as though the highlight have been blown and maybe the original has the its just been lost in PP.

Hi Haseeb
really attractive colours which bring the image to life - for me only the blown nose spot in a negative
I like the focus is on the head and horns even though the bg is full

Hi Haseeb, love the image, a bit of fun here I feel, but ultimately, Kudos in pushing the ISO. 
If the IQ allows, then I would crop from the bottom up, to just to the end tip of lighter branch from the LHS, about an inch off. I also like the vegetation canopy framing the top, again personal choice, but a fraction off may again help? Perhaps moving a bit more, if possible, to your right may have been better? Love the depth and saturated colour of the horns. With this image I might double process it, so you have control of both BKG and then the subject. Also a simple Brush adjustment on the nose will bring back more detail as it's not blown, you just need to tease more tone out. The highlights in the BKG are distracting, however you can take out if ethics allow, especially the LHS one near the head.

A very nice shot indeed, I like it very much. The two minor things that distract me a little are the bright areas on the nose and the pale area adjacent to the right horn.
-
Thank you everyone for your suggestions and comments ! I will rectify that issue with the nose .
@ Steve - this is almost full frame so i dont think cropping as per your suggestion would hamper the IQ .
I could have gone a bit towards the right for more space but the concentration was on not to clip the horns .

Actually, on reflection Haseeb, going to your left and being 'face on' would be the better call perhaps, but then the tip of the RH horn may be clipped by the leaves?

@ Steve , sadly that was not an option because for that we would have to off road to some extent and offroading is not permitted in this part of the jungle.
