Congratulations on the milestone and great image! The captured action really shows the playful mood and fun the little guys have. Maybe a bit less yellow?

[David Fletcher]

Congratulation son your 1000th. Fab shot to show this Roger. Ditto the yellow. WD!

[Roger Clark]

Axel, David,
Thanks. I have a problem I can't figure out. Something has changed on my computer and funny things happen when I'm editing in photoshop. My proof setup is monitor and it seems the proof colors check box keeps changing, so when I'm editing in one mode, I suddenly find I'm in another mode. Then when editing the above image in Adobe RGB I suddenly found the image was in sRGB. This also happened to another image on a previous post of a sandhill crane a couple of weeks ago. I can't figure out what is causing things to change. I'll redo the image from scratch and repost tomorrow.

Wonderful image, what an expression another great example of the playful nature of Elephants.
PS is always collapsing in one way or another.
Look forward to seeing the repost!

Here is a try at re-working the image. How does this look?

It looks a bit reddish now but I really don't know what the light might look like in this setting.

It is a lot better but still looks odd. The grass is the problem for me, normally of it was this yellow it would not appear to be as lush as it is.

Axel,
It looks fine on my (problem) machine on my supposedly calibrated 30-inch monitor.
On my laptop it looks reddish.

Looks like I'm going to have to work on my main desktop I'll start the calibration from scratch.
