Love the IQ here . Would have loved more eye contact though .

[DanWalters]

Very dramatic! Like the way the wind is blowing the mane. Great light as well.

[Stu Bowie]

Bhai, good comp, and just love the late afternoon light which has brought out lovely warm colours. His kill a bonus.

[Morkel Erasmus]

Gotta love the light and specimen here...
I felt it was a bit 'too' yellow (and I know how intense African Golden Hour can get), but felt the yellow was oversaturated to the point where fine details were lost.
Here is a repost with slight colour adjustment done:

Saturation:
Yellow -7
Green -10

Color Balance:
-1;-1;+1 for shadows, midtones and highlights

Curious to know what you think Bhai? Lost the essence of what you wanted to convey?

[Robert Amoruso]

Love the look as he tears the catch. Well done Harshad.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Great action Harshad! It do think Morkel went in the right direction but still very well done!
