Quite an amazing atmosphere you have captured here Saurabh! The sense of scale is also striking. It seems to me that the quality of these posted jpeg images may be affected by jpeg compression or something as it is not the kind of quality one would expect from a modern top of the range DSLR. :confused:

I really like the mood here, and that background is awesome. Like Vincent, I'm puzzled by the amount of noise, especially looking at the camera and ISO. Did you deliberately add noise to the shot when converting it to bw?

I quit like your choice of composition, with the position of the deer anchoring the scene and providing a sense of mystery. I was wondering about the artifacts in the sky and background. Is this a large crop?

Respected Mods,

The Image isn’t affected by any compression nor by crop .
This is 99 percent full frame image and surely at ISO 500 one would never expect this kind of quality from D4 .

Thanks for the feedback and understanding the overall dark scene even after heavy grains in this image .

Marsel Sir,

You guessed it right it’s grain which is added during b/w conversion .
I really appreciate the positive response and relating to the early morning misty Winter mood I wanted to portray.

Regards
Saurabh Singh
