Hi Jagdeep,

There is a certain simplicity to this image that I find very appealing. For me the trees in the background add very pleasant supporting context to the image, nicely showing the habitat this elephant lives in. And I quite like the leaves "descending" from the top of the frame. I think this would make a very visually-appealing print...and looks great online as well. Overall I really like this - thanks for sharing it!

Cheers...

Brad

Nice change from the typical elephant shot in Africa. I really like this. Only thing I would change if I could would be a bit higher angle so less of the legs were blocked by the grass. Not sure if that would have been possible though.

The trees line up so well in this, with room to left and right, making a great composition against which to show the elephant. I like the raised trunk too. Looks like it could use a tad blacker black.

I like how the big guy is dwarfed by the giant trees. Very peaceful scene!
