Nice shot, but they look like they're falling over to me.

I am having a hard time trying to figure out why I like this, but I do. It has a soft, gentle feel to it.

I don't know if it's the angle of the elephants, but you can see them lumbering along, nice, calm easy movements. Very peaceful shot, I love the tones and the composition. :toast:

The poses and haze make this have a very relaxed feel.

The color is beautiful and the angle mentioned actually makes this interesting.

I think the colours and light in this are great and you've captured the atmosphere beautifully. Not sure if it would have as much impact if they weren't leaning.
