Sandy,
You clearly visited just after the rains, when Etosha takes on a marvelous colour

There are also less tourists

Wonderful image

Sandy, I like the colors you captured in this photo. A real wall hanger IMHO.

Wonderful depth, color and composition. Everything in the image is relevant, including the third elephant. Initially, I thought the reeds in the foreground were a bit of a distraction, but with further viewing I rejected that notion.

Hey Sandy,

Very pleasant 'scape - has just a nice feeling to it. To my eye it "feels" a bit off-level and thinking a very minor clockwise rotation (like maybe 0.5˚ CW) might be needed? My only other "in a perfect world" thought is that it would be nice if that clump of grasses at the bottom of the frame (and between the two elephants) wasn't there...but not much you could have done about that...

Cheers...

Brad

Brad, thanks - It could well use a bit of rotation. I couldn't decide what to level - the foreground water?
The close bank? The light weed line behind the elephants?
I just kind of compromised and leveled each a bit.
Ack.
