Very nice environmental image, I've never seen pups in their den before. I really like the way the termite mound with the dens in it is replicated in smaller versions across the plains. I suppose it would have been extra excellent if the two nearest pups had been separated, but I like it anyway.

I have nearly 50 frames from this sequence , my fault not bothered much to see which one is best , will try to dig it out as you want , but may take some time
I like this one Harshad , have enjoyed your pano images of the Mara. The pups and den add the interest and I also like the way the termite mounds fade into the distance. Would have prefered if the tree was in the left of the frame.
Nice "animalscape" here Bhai! I love the depth and the repitition of the mounds. I agree maybe tweaking the contrast on the pups some might add some "pop"?
Like the environment setting here Harshad, although overall it does have a 'bright' feel to it (no refering to the weather conditions). could it be due to+0.67 comp? Could try dropping the exposure. Curious why f/4?

Since no one else has mentioned it, am I the only one that would like to see the horizon (yellowish grass) straightened (rotated clockwise)?

Tom , IMHO plains of Serengeti and Masai Mara can mislead about horizon , I made sure that tree is upright , most of these plains have slope which you can see here , straightened image will trow out blue sky and tilt tree

Just wanted to keep pups and mound in focus

on my monitor this looks quite realistic but posting again with sliver cut on brightness , let me know your thoughts
Harshad - I prefer your last repost. For lack of a better description, there seems to be more of a richness to the colors with the exp dropped slightly. I too am enjoying your animalscapes and this is no exception.
Prefer your first repost Harshad. Pups stand out more but don't have a "pasted in" look. Love how the tree is in line with the mound and echoes it's shape. Yellow horizon does slightly dip to the left (as viewed) but the next horizon line dips just slightly to right to my eye. Wouldn't adjust anything as it gives me the impression of slightly rolling grasslands.
