Looks great would love to see this as a large print on the wall.
Cheers Shawn

Like this image, but I think I would crop out the single elephant on the far left as IMHO it distracts from main group. Also, I was wondering what a slightly lower angle would have done to make the herd stand out more. Thanks for sharing.

This is one nice pano, Harshad. Nice work getting them all in the frame. Looks like the leader's doing its job.

I like this a lot Harshad. I agree with John's comments about the crop and the low angle - although I realise this is hard to get when you're not allowed out of the vehicle!

Hi Harshad,
Very pleasing critterscape! I like the simplicity of the image and the solo elephant on the far left works fine for me - makes me wonder what's going on and if it is, in fact, leading the others somewhere. One technical thing - looks to me like you've got significant vignetting going on in upper left corner (I'm guessing this is the "true" edge of the shot) - the blues are quite a bit darker there). Not sure if this was captured raw or as a JPEG, but most raw converters (and image editing software) provides for compensation for vignetting (so usually easy to remove if you notice it).
Cheers...thanks for sharing this...

Love the scene on this one Harshad. I agree with Brad about the heavy vignette on the left causing the sky to be much darker looks a bit strange. This is probably just my eyes, but it does look like it might need a very slight CW rotation...may 2 or 3 % (using the elephants as my guide)

It is nice to see the elephants in wide open country with green grass and blue sky, something I hope they have for many years to come. Nice job in seeing this, well done.
