Excellent image of these BlackBucks! (aka Indian antelope, native to India and Nepal) Amazing action, a perfect look at the eyes and horns, and the flying dust makes this image a real winner.
Very fine work, Jagdeep!

Beautiful shot love the action and light, specially that it is backlight makes the antelope and the dust really stand out from the background!

Absolutely stunning image! Perfectly timed, beautifully captured, flawlessly processed. A very small nit: For images as this one, I like to see a little more room around the animals, just to give a better sense of the vastness of the landscape. That aside, I think this is a total winner; a “wall hanger” for sure!

Great capture @JRajput . Agree with others on the light and colours. I particularly like all the angles. When viewed full size I can almost smell the dust. Well done.

It’s a breathtaking shot of blackbucks fighting in dusty landscape bathed in golden light. The dynamic action, backlit conditions, and interplay of light come together to make it a stunning image.
