I dig this abstract study, Mario. Great textures, DOF and details. I like the overall toning though I might take out some of the blue/magenta in the hue personally.

Having only been to Addo twice (for 1 day and then for 2 nights' stay) I see these images and wish to spend more time there - though for me it's equidistant to go to the Kgalagadi which I prefer

I really like this abstract perspective - cool shapes and textures come together beautifully...

Aaaaaah! I like this even better than your previous one. I like the way you have hidden the eyes of both elephants; there is a touch of mystery there, and the fact that there is separation between the two trunks.

Appear to be talking trunks.

This is a very pleasing abstract to look at Mario. I like the B&W conversion, but do echo Morkel's comment about the blue hues.
