critiques and comments welcome..

Nice composition. Was this shot from a car or were you lying on the ground or standing below an elevated ground? I really wish you had got the blackbuck with all four legs in the air :D

Nice and sharp image.Good clarity.Was the foregorund and background blurred in pp?

Regards

Watching a blackbuck flying (all fours in the air) is a treat to watch. With the limitations of of filming in DSLR, where one can't whip pan fast, the flying blackbucks gave me a knockout blow (Score 1-0 in favour of blackbucks). Will try sometime again. :)

I guess, use of long focal lengths from a near ground level perspective has resulted in blurring of foreground. And I think slight panning motion that happens while clicking even at the fast shutter speed results in the background. Mrudul to explain.

A Blackbuck on LEAP is a Treat to Watch.I have seen on a few occasions in Kanha Meadow only but not been able to take an Image.I have one Photograph of four or five Female walking
in a line, titled "A PROCESSION".Nice that Madam Mrudul is concentrating on this Beautiful species.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

It was on elevated ground, so as Sabyasachi has mentioned the near ground level has made the foreground blurred. Also the trees in the background were again on a slope so the background is also blurred. There is no blurring done, it is just the result of low angle.

Thanks all for the comments.
