Harshad,

I am in love with the light here. totally beautiful. Gives the already massive fellow a very regal look.

[Brendon Cremer]

Lovely image, great light and colours with lovely detail, if it were mine i would remove the blade of grass going up from his rear end, but not a big issue

[Pieter de Waal]

Lovely image of this good looking specimen , I particularly like the play of light on the mane.

[Robert Amoruso]

Well captured image Harshad. You succeeded in making him look regal indeed.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Light looks VG Harshad and minor grass clean up will make this shine! Love the flies on the face too but his mane is just great!

[Steve Canuel]

Nice looking specimen captured in beautiful light. Love the colors of this.

[Rachel Hollander]

Looks like he lives up to his nickname well. Good colors, light, pose and mane. Well done.

TFS,
Rachel

Gorgeous light and specimen here! Have you tried recovering some detail from the black part of the mane on the shoulders?
