I quite like this because of it's simplicity I guess. Would like to have seen the shot even wider, with 1/3 foreground, 2/3 sky, so you are looking up. If you had used a polariser this would have really helped you & the shot. It could do with a bit more processing IMHO to get the best out of it?

Speaking of elephants, I just the other day received a link to this video (http://www.dumpert.nl/mediabase/656611/d1dfcfee/live_olifant_geboorte_tv.html) of an elephant giving birth. Graphic, but I found it rather moving. The instincts of these animals are amazing.

nice shot but I agree with Steve, some TLC will help this improve more than a notch. do a levels and contrast adjustment on the sky and some local contrast enhancement on the elephants and surroundings?

I think this would have been a lot better with the open space on the left. Lovely sky, it definitely improves a picture if you have some fluffy clouds.

I like the wide angle view and the nice clouds in the sky. The bush in the foreground is just a little distracting.
