    Rakesh,

    I like the tight framing on the action. However, the large out of focus foot is distracting. For me, more depth of field was needed to make this image more effective.

    Rakesh - I too like the concept but wish that the dancing foot was in focus. I also would probably crop down a little from the top to crop out the tip of the tail as I think the legs and trunk make a stronger image.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Rakesh nicely conceived and captured image. Love the curved trunk facing us and angle of the swaying foot. Agree with more dof.

    Like the concept but would agree with previous critiques re the dof.
