Removed some distracting white spots from the anthill .

Very lovely colors. IQ is great. Do you have more room at bottom and left? If you do, I would try a comp where the diagonal line of the anthill starts in left lower corner. Why were you at 1/8000?

The lighting was harsh i did not find time to reduce ISO back to 200 so the high shutter . But worked well or else the image would have burnt .

Ram:

Sharp and well exposed. Like the uphill pose, the lighter band in BG behind his head, good colors.

Wish his head was a bit more towards us.

Cheers

I must say i am impressed with your posting this days. You improved a **** lot bhai. keep on bro.
About your image looks razor sharp and the repost took it to further more. just that the head angle could have been better bro.
