I like the image and the effect it has received due to heat waves, especially the tree, which looks like water colour effect, but image is heavier on the left side, as there is emptiness on the RHS.
I like the composition, it gives a sense of emptiness, although animals walking away doesn’t usually work for me, at least the tree gives it something to be walking towards.
The heat haze seems to have significantly impacted this image Balan and I’m not sure how much more you could do with it.
I agree with this. The textures are fantastic, and while the background diagonal ridge line is quite nice running subtly through the background, your two main objects are simply too bold to justify all the empty space at right. I think you’d maximize all three of your strongest elements by evening the space on the right and left sides, essentially centering the antelope and tree.
