    Lovely colors and light, nice pose of the elephant.
    Maybe toning down the lighter yellows in the BG , can improve it a bit.
    I would add a tiny more usm on the elephant.

    Hi Ken - beautiful light and colors and the outstretched trunk really adds to it. I would consider cropping some from the bottom - the smoother parts of the water.

    Hi Ken, great light and pose by the elephant. I'd leave it as is!

    Nice, warm colors give this one a good feel. Is this one in musth or do they always "leak" from the gland on the head?

    Steve,

    This one looks a little to young to be in musth, but you never know. I am certainly no expert on Elephant behaviour.
