Not a view I would welcome if I was in a jeep as close as you appear to be Jagdeep. They look like they are on the move and you are in their way. It may just be an illusion, but some of the ones on the right appear to be leaning hard to their left? The light, the dust, the green trees, the strong trunk, all add a lot of interest to this.

Just love light and dust like this in the forest. And what better to have placed there than elephants!
Nice one

Hi Jagdeep,

Very nicely done...this one is a pleasure to look at. Such sweet light and the dust "diffuser" helps so much! In a perfect world I'd love it if the vehicle path wasn't there, but nothing you could do about that.

Thanks for sharing this compelling shot...

Brad

Exceptional capture, Jagdeep!  I love the rays of light in the dust and the impressive lineup of elephants.  The panoramic composition is perfect for this shot.  I wouldn't change a thing.  Very nice devil

This is a very strong image!  The number of elephants and the dust gives a feeling of power.  I think the road gives a feeling of elephants challenging a vehicle.  I like the composition.  Very good image.
