Interesting and unusual image!
The elephant's skin detail in the large image is excellent.

I think cropping top and bottom so there is no sky and the lower right corner grass is gone makes it more interesting and unusual, but that is just my quirky way of seeing things. O/W, excellent. Actually, excellent without my suggestion.

Interesting and different composition Ingrid, maybe a touch lighter overall?

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions!
Jim, I don't really want to crop this image because then I lose some colours in the BG which are important to me for the general atmosphere in the photo. For the same reason, Nate, I didn't make the elephant lighter, to me there is enough detail in the darkness and it makes the image more mysterious... or that's the way I see it at least 😀
Thanks again!

I think the darker, richer colors lend a different feeling to what we are used to seeing in normal bright
African scenes. Interesting choice.
