Hi Ken

you got love those tusks... cant wait to see him fully grown..
have to admit that compositionally does not work for me.... I like the inclusion of clouds... but would crop the FG closer to the subject and crop a little from both LHS and RHS...

[Ken Watkins]

Peter,

Thanks for that, I was unsure about the crop to apply normally I would have cropped closer, but I went for the wide-open spaces look.

Ken - I like how the water leads the viewer to the elephant, so if you do decide to crop, I would try to keep that feeling. The image also seems a tad dark to me, almost like there was a storm coming.

TFS,
Rachel
