Wow! How funny! Great capture and I particularly like the Buffalo's expression.

Hurrah, so please keep it that way Sanjeev, both you and your images will benefit from this constant update.
Nice side profile of the Buff and the Ox P's and a nice touch and colour to the image. Personally I might have gone for more DoF being so close. A slight lift in the 1/4 tones of a Curves adjustment to add some variation in tone would help to create more form here.

Hi Sanjeev - The colors look much better here. A fun theme image. The oxpeckers add to the image and nice to have both in focus. Sharpness looks good and nice details/texture on the boss. I too probably would have gone for more dof but this works.

Loving the overall colour and detail extracted here Sanjeev, with the OP earring an added bonus.

Superbly done Sanjeev -- Calibrating the monitor has certainly helped it seems. lovely details and colours and a nice tight close up. Oxpeckers are adding to the image as well . Nicely done.
TFS !

Dear Sanjeev,
Love this profile of a Dagga Boy, as well as his ear stud:) HA is great, the oxpeckers add lots of interest and a very interesting behavioural aspect to the frame. I like the presence of those numerous flies too:)
Techs are almost there and you got away with 1/640s - the subject might have been perfectly still but do keep in mind, those ears are moving non stop because oxpeckers tickle and pinch the Buffaloes as they pluck off those ticks:)
The massive boss (by that I mean horns) could do with more "character" and you can extract more from it by various means if you want to - I would love to see more texture and contrast as well as colour. It is all there but very subtle, how about a linear curve and some dodge and burn, maybe a little saturation avoiding magenta and blue.
Composition is perfect and I like the way the subject is "entering" the frame. You make me look for a buffalo image to process now, LOL. Thank you for sharing, my friend
Kind regards,
