Nice potrait. The back-lit hair looks good. Sharp image. The open jaw too add to the composition. You can consider to crop just a bit from the bottom to remove the open space below the stomach. Thanks for sharing.

I agree. when you are composing by including only a portion of the body part, then it is better to do so from the joints. Else, it appears that the crop/composition is accidental.

I always find it difficult to get the eyes right if the dhole is in a backlit or sidelit situation. The expression is good. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

I like the backlighting. The composition is fine, cropping from the bottom would be nice. A bit more sharpness would be nice.

Thanks for your comments.
Pls find the repost. Hope this corrects the potrait image.

Thanks.

[Bibhav Behera]

The repost definitely looks better. :)

[Sabyasachi Patra]

The repost is better. Details in the eye is better. So is sharpness.

Cheers,
