VPN,

Very nice behavioural shot, the colours are nicely muted which makes a great change.

I have no idea as to the layout of the land there, but I wonder if some anti-clockwise rotation may be in order here?

Wonderful Behavior Captured... I always Like the open Shot of plane Grass and open atmosphere. TFS

Hi VPN

I would try and reduce the colour cast in the sky (yellow), adjust Levels, move the slider on the RHS to meet the base line, or to what you feel happy with :bg3:, add some Curves and rotate 0.95% CCW. Depending how much you have on the original and the rotation, you may need to adjust your crop. In the future you may wish to think about using a Circular Polariser. Like the setting.

VPN - nice comp and action. The suggested tweaks will take this to the next level.

Composition problem for me with the top of the eles too close to land/sky horizon.

Superb VPN, just love the whole scene and setting. Interaction adds nicely and love the warm light. Sky color can be more blue TFS:cheers:

Lovely behaviour on the open plains here!
I like the action...agree with the slight rotation but use the BG horizon as guide and not the elephants - they are standing diagonally towards the viewer so any rotation should stay true to that orientation.

The polarizer would have had a cool effect here!
