Golden buck
I wanted to make an image of a black buck with a strong back light (from the setting sun) to get a golden rim light around the black animal. But I wasnt completely successful as you can see. Maybe I should have waited longer for the sun to get lower in the horizon, to get the coveted rim light. I was ready to wait, but Mr Buck wanst willing to wait, for he had other pressing issues on his mind... So I took what I got, and I keep telling myself, "It wasn't my Golden Luck which ran down on me that evening, it was just the "Golden Buck" !" Sorry for the silly Verse could not help it :D

Well for what its worth, I still got a picture which I hope I can better some day with my Golden Buck

This is a fine image Harsha, infact if it had turned out as visualised it would have been another rim light image, I feel the saturation of the orange overpowers a bit.

Nice light here Harsha, some levels/curves adjustment to highlight the buck better would further add in my view. Also, not sure whether you could have excluded that straight line above the buck - cropping upto that would probably strengthen composition. Thanks for sharing..

Hey Sriharsha!
You got both of them right here. The backlit buck as well as the verse!! The light is really ethereal. The only nit; position of buck's tail suggests it is startled.
Thanks for sharing
