Beautiful work Sanjeev. Wonderful detail here and a really excellent setting with that sea of pale grass and the oof bushes behind. There are only two minor things I'd play with if this was mine: the shadow on the buffalo's face which I'd try to lift a little more and the bright oof grass in front of the animal. I'd darken this to make it less visually distracting although care would be needed to make it look natural still. I think this one has a lot going for it.
A nice solid portrait Sanjeev. My first thoughts are similar to Glenn above, i that I'd try and lift the shadows on the face. I like the grass in the foreground, and the head below the greenery behind.
I like this shot Sanjeev. I think buffalo are difficult in bright light, and you have handled this well. Mara grass lends well for a nice soft background!

Hi Sanjeev, a typical shot of this species, which always shows them off as being grumpy, and they are!
I like the hint of grass in the mouth and the flies around the horn, a slight turn to the left of the head I think would have helped. Techs look good with some nice DoF and the bKG separates the head well. I might make some subtle adjustments to the lighter parts of the horn just to get some more depth back to define more the detail. A very subtle Curves adjustment to slightly lift the RHS too. Hard to tell accurately as I'm on the laptop but a hint more Midtown just helps a fraction I feel. Personally I would go tighter and exclude the FG grass, but I'm unsure how much of a crop is the OP as you don't say???
Hi Sanjeev -- A nice frame indeed , loved that typical look on its face. Steve's RP has certainly improved it , especially the crop . Nicely done . TFS !
Hi, Sanjeev,
Nice image. Steve has done an amazing job. I felt the details on the nostrils could ve been better considering you shot at f/10. Nicely executed frame. TFS,
