Thank you for your tips and suggestions.

Thanks for the critique. Your observations are spot on regarding snap feel. It was indeed a snap............ taken from > 400m. This required some enhancements in post that can be subjective hence, some of the shade/grain issues. Had not originally intended to use this shot but thought....what the heck!

Thank you.

The patterns of the grasses are an effective element to the composition of this photo. Well seen! Good luck, Artist.
