Ken - nice grouping and pov. Although I wasn't there I feel the color of the bg grasses/shrubs would look better if you reduced the cyans a bit.

TFS,

Great group image Ken, always nice to see more than one elephant
I see the image was taken in overcast conditions, may add some curves to add a little more contrast :-)

[Ken Watkins]

Craig,

I had a go at your suggestion what do you think?

[Steve Canuel]

Color looks alright to my eye. Like the comp and the repost's extra pop.

[Dumay de Boulle]

I like the repost re colors and pop. I dont feel the end Ellie adds to the image. I would crop it out as I feel the tightly packed group have enough interest!

I think it adds interest and I would also need to think of a new title:w3

[Dumay de Boulle]

I would agree if the whole Ellie was visible but as its half I dont feel it works...And a title doesnt make a image, the image makes the image...But im sure you know that:t3

[Morkel Erasmus]

I second Dumay's last suggestion to crop out the "joiner" :bg3:.
Repost with added contrast works well for me...nice depth in this, works so well with the vegetation far behind the dam at Hapoor...
