Goutham,
Welcome to Indiawilds!

Please post the exif details (shutter speed, aperture), ISO, whether it is cropped etc so that it becomes easier to comment. Was it taken during the Safari or in the camp?

Difficult lighting for you, as the face is not lighted. Would love a bit more sharpness. Were you handholding?

I think the focus is on the body and tail. So the body and tail portion has come out better and the depth of field was not sufficient to cover the eyes.

An off center composition makes the image dynamic. So you may try creating an offcentre composition with more space in the direction the subject is looking.

Thanks for sharing. Look forward to more.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
