Nice image. The horizon can be straightened.. Please post the new images in a new thread. That helps in easier critiquing :)
Superb action. Is it a big crop? The quality has deteriorated. The horizon is tilted. I know that at times in such adrenal pumping events, we forget to straighten the horizon. However, that takes away a lot from the image.
I tried to straighten the horizon. However, that means sacrificing some more pixels of an already small image. So the quality has gone down a lot. It is better that you work on your original image to straighten it.
The tips section has a tip on straightening the horizon in lightroom.

PS: I moved your image to a new thread.
We can now visualise the whole scene :). The repost looks better, but has taken away lot from the BG. Some more space on the left, infront of the deer would have added to the composition further. A narrower aperture like f8 would have helped to get the whole scene in focus.
Thanks for sharing.
Lovely sequence of images, Praveen. You were really lucky to witness this, luckier yet to be able to document it.
