Very nice image, and the pano format is perfect.
The B&W treatment is compelling.
Initially appears to need some straightening, but the BG trees are vertical so the elephants are simply going downhill.

Nice to know there are places on earth where spectacles like this still occur. The low contrast in the background trees shows an interesting atmospheric effect, appears to be a light rain falling? The darker elephants contrast nicely with the lighter environment in this black and white photo.

Upjeet,
A very nice mood to this, thank goodness Sandy commented on the "rotation", not all horizons are flat :wink:

Thankyou everyone for the input.

@ Sandy: You are correct about the downhill part, the ground specially where the elephants were walking goes down and up in certain places as it leads to the reservoir waters of the dam, so it appears as though it need rotation but when you see the tree line its absolutely vertical kinda tricky :smile:

@ Gary: It was a harsh summer day probably around 4pm and some dust in the air aswell resulting in low contrast of the background, no rain whatsoever.

I like Gary's first comment. For me, this is an unexpected scene with Indian elephants. It seems we rarely get to see wide open expanses like this featuring this many of them. Very nice, Upjeet.
