Really great shot but I'd love to see this cropped really tight so that no green shows at all. I think it might add an element of surprise and mystery and push that camouflage effect.

What a great capture of life in the wild! The composition is tightly focused on the wildbeast coated in wet mud drying in the heat of the sun - talk about a mud pack:-) This beauty of a beast is cooling himself/herself off as best as it can. The splash of green grass in the background really makes the subject stand out from it's background.

Like the depth of field. The colours are good, you've captured his mean look well. To be a little nit picky the grass in the bottom right is a tiny bit distracting - it's not quite sharp enough to focus on and look at it properly, but not blurred enough to not want to bother. Fwiw, a 6/10.

Like this a lot. The 2 layers of different saturation seems to work well here. Seems a little soft overall.
