This is such a beautiful image.

The gorgeous trailing dust behind the Blackbuck has placed the animal in the perfect centre. The image is beautifully detailed and the early light is wonderful.

If I were to suggest anything, it would be to consider another version, with a slice taken off the top?

This is a wonderful image of an awesome scene in nature! I love the head pointing in the air and the eye looking at you; and of course the dust reflecting the sunlight! My only very minor suggestion would be to remove the dark line under the animal’s front legs and possibly add a little more negative space in the front.
