What a shot Jagdeep, looks like something out of a fairy tale. The quality of the light is outstanding and I love that the smallest elephant is front and center. Really well done!

The light: "Spot on" as a friend of mine says. The composition: Same. Excellent is all respects. Did you take this from a vehicle? Also, at the top of the right, dirt track there appears to be a manmade object. Like a sling or something of that kind, or am I just seeing things?

Nice lighting Jagdeep. It looks like the dust kicked up by the lead elephants has created a veil for the others to pass through - very cool. Overall, quite an impressive sight, very well presented

Excellent photo. I think I would be stepping aside pretty quickly with this group bearing down. Looks like great DOF for f4. Color and exposure look very natural. The dust certainly adds a real sense of motion to this group. Well done.

Lovely image Jagdeep. The sunlight and dust work well together. I don't mind the tight crop but feel a more open shot might be even better as it would include more of the sunlight coming through the trees and provide a better frame for your ellies.

Hi Jagdeep,
I'm agreement with the others that the dust and beams of light combine with the nice tight composition to make a powerful image. In my perfect world the obvious hand of man (those vehicle tracks) would be gone, but I know that's a tall order at times where you shoot. In this case it isn't so much that they're an indication of human-modification to the environment but rather I simply find them a little aesthetically distracting. But overall a really strong image - well done!
Cheers...
Brad
