Good choice of aperture, I like the colours and details, I might tone down the white area on the leg, this might help maintain concentration on the hyena's face a little more.
Hi Sanjeev nice one .... i specially like the concentrated look and i can almost hear the bone cracking... when looking at the image .
Tones are looking quite good to me , but there is almost all the time room to play with them , locally . Colors are looking slightly off to me ... for sure subjective in many cases . Detail / sharpness is looking good , i would still drop the white side of the sharpening halo a fraction .
So here is an RP for illustration ....

Cracking image, Sanjeev! Please forget the pun, I just had to say it...I too can hear that bone cracking in the powerful jaws of this hyena![]()
Great scene well captured, lighting conditions were tough indeed but good thinking in the field with those techs. POV is superb and framing works for me, I am curious though whether you might have thought of a vertical composition as well.
Very nice detail on the hyena's face and sharpness is in good measure. In terms of colour/tonality I think Andreas's tweaks - albeit subtle - work very well. A wonderful behavioural image I enjoyed viewing, keep them coming Sanjeev
Kind regards,

Hi Doc -- Nice caption and I liked the tight framing. Good call on techs and I would prefer something between your OP and Andreas RP in terms of tones. Colours could be worked upon but you will be the better judge in this case.
I think you really had stuck to the landscape mode for this trip , coz i feel after reading Gabriela's comment that portrait framing might also have worked ?
Nice one, TFS !
Love the title and of course the interaction here. Nice view of the hyena with a nice background. Image quality looks very good for the high ISO.
