You don't often see elephant photos taken in portrait orientation yet this one works exceedingly well. The elephant's body provide symmetry and the elephant itself exudes an air of overall calmness. The tones, techs and oof b/g are spot on. Congrats. Richard

Excellent head on view point with a low angle Jagdeep. I also like the grass he's eating running parallel with his ears, sweet shot :toast:

Hi Jagdeep,

This is one of those images that really shines when one looks at the larger view. And - in that larger view - I love the texture supplied by all the horizontal wrinkles. I think one way to strengthen the image even more would be to selectively bump the contrast on the forehead and right ear of the elephant - making the textures on those portions come to life as well. But otherwise I really like this shot as posted.

Cheers...

Brad

Nice work here Jagdeep . . . The vertical crop works for me and the detail and colors rendered are spot on :toast:
