This is really beautiful stuff Mahesh. Loved the execution here.
A bit more of contrast probably made the Chinkara stand out on the golden bed.
But nevertheless beautiful seeing.

Thanks Shiva for the feedback. This is full frame and not processed at all. I tried out what you have mentioned. But comparing both loved the one with muted tones and without much contrast. I really wanted to include more of the glowing horizon though but could not because of I was using the prime lens and this was full frame.

I would probably want to crop about 10-15 pixels from the top and the keep the rest as it is. Fantastic image here Mahesh.

Excellent image Mahesh! Totally loved the golden tones...I too would have avoided the horizon either on the field or cropped it out during processing. It slightly takes the attention away from the Chinkara....just a minor one...Thanks for sharing....

Beautiful hues and lonely chinkara amidst golden hues adds to the interest. Bit of head turn towards left would have added further to the composition ? Thanks for sharing Mahesh..

First thing that came to my mind was - Gorgeous light! Chinkara amidst the grassland is beautiful however, I would have preferred to cut the mid tones a tad. A little closer vertical composition ( portrait orientation of the frame) would be superb too!

Great setting. Agree with others on cutting a bit mid-tone and composition to for my taste. Thank you for sharing.

lovely image with grand settings. Biggest problem is Chikanra is LOSt here , I have tried to darken Chinkara selectively and some level adjustments in midtones. Then Cropped it pano. Looks great to my eyes . Give a go on RAW , you have wiiner here

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Special thanks to Harshad for his additional efforts in processing. While processing it was a dilemma whether to retain the horizon or not. Retained it to show the origin of golden evening light.
