Hi Ken,

It is nice to get both flavors of elephants in one day at NPN. I like the wrinkles and the position of the elephant in the foreground shows off its size very well..............................Jim

Solid capture, Ken. As a matter of personal taste, I think it would be even more appealing if it included enough of the environment to provide a sense of place. This views best large, to take in the detail of texture! Active walking posture and curled trunk are good elements, too.
