Sandipan, Well taken! I like the photo just as it is. Was this taken in morning or evening light? Works well which ever one it is. Nice to see an Asian elephant with tusks. Like the grass in his mouth. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Sandipan,
I like the simplicity of the image and how those tusks almost glow in the subdued light. And I really like that you kept the image on the dark side (as I assume the original scene was) - so often we see sunrise and/or sunset shots that are over-exposed (in-camera or during post-processing) and thus end up looking like mid-day scenes.
Cheers...
Brad

Exquisite light and nice surrounds...would have liked a tad more space below though?
