The early morning mist on the water looks nice. Liked the way the deers are lined up to drink water. Did you try any other compositions, zooming out more to see more of the trees in the background? Thanks for sharing.

Lovely morning scene. If possible, a slightly lower angle would have been even better. It is good that you have used f8.

In the early 2000s when I used to print big, I used to struggle getting more details in such scenes. Then I realised that one has to get higher shutter speed, good support and ofcourse a good lens on a narrow aperture. I am writing this for the benefit of our readers who may not have tried printing big. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,

Agree with most of the earlier comments. I have fond memories of this water hole from 2012, and 2013, when I saw Tigers in the exact place there are deer now regularly.

Thank you all for the valuable feedback.Mridul I will post another image in the landscape forum showing a slightly different perspective.Sabyasachi,I could not go any lower as there was a high bank in the front.The shot had to be over the bank.
