Nice big sky feel to this shot, and superb light on the elephant. Like the wider approach adopted here, and the clean shape of the elephant with sky for background. The yellow in the foreground grass does come across quite strongly on my monitor but that is likely due to the strong golden light you were shooting in. Will be interesting to hear members comments on the elephants private part :S3:. Good work here..TFS

Brendon - I really like the simplicity of the comp here. There seems to be a slight halo along the top and back of the ellie.

TFS,

Brendon,

This looks to have a slight magenta cast on my monitor, unfortunately my calibrater has just broken (dropped it on the floor:2eyes2:), so perhaps it is just my monitor.

Nice composition gives a great impression of size and power:cheers::cheers:

As one of my guides used to say, "I think it's a boy!" Love, love, love the simple image design. Those corners rock for wide images. My only wish is for the very foreground grass to be more in focus, aka, more d-o-f.

Super light, super composition, super IQ :S3:
I wonder if shaving a tad off the bottom would improve this?
As I said elsewhere - the 5th leg seems a tad shorter than the other 4 :w3
