Seems it heard something and got up. The eye contact and the raised ears look nice. Good details. The f7.1 has helped. Thanks for sharing.

Agree with Mrudul. Nice composition But personally, I'd prefer a little more saturation..

The dhole appears nice with the low angle. Lower saturation would be good, as higher saturation and increased colour temperature during processing can only bring in unwanted colour to the vegetation which attracts attention. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,

Oh yes Sabyasachi..agree with you on the saturation point. But how about increasing yhe saturation slightly by selecting only the animal (in photoshop) ?

Thanks in advance

One can do any amount of editing. People go to the tune of doctoring the eye, adding a twinkle, selective sharpening, etc etc. Those are fine if you are doing it for advertising. Also, those are ok for most of the magazines who are more interested in just getting a story. However, the general rule for editorial applications is that you can't do any selective editing apart from the minor levels and curves. A reuters photographer was banned and all his past images were removed because he cropped an object from the image.
