Elephant Head Arizona

Your images really make me want to go there. :) Great details, setting and BG. I only find the little branch covering part of the tail a bit distracting. It might be worth cloning out.

[Gayle Clement]

You're killing us, Freddy! This is another beauty. Removing that branch would be tough.

[Dan Walker]

Freddy, Nice! Eye is super sharp. Maybe clone out the small branch behind the left leg, if not still a sweet image.

wow, what a great shot Freddy!

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

Love everything about this Freddy Stunning composition and excellent exposure and detail Over the top for me.

[Doug Brown]

You've put together quite a portfolio from Elephant Head! Another nice one! Terrific sharpness along with a great BG. Removing the branch might be tough, but certainly isn't impossible.

[Bonnie Block]

Just fantastic, Freddy! I like it just as is. The bg and perch are are superb. I am distracted a little by the little twig on the tail.
I just got back from AZ. Where and what is Elephant Head?

[Mike Lentz]

You just nailed this image, Freddy! The small amount of flowers placed in the image add to its overall appeal.

[Roman Kurywczak]

Hi Freddy,
Another vote for branch removal.........everything else is dead on. In my mind I can almost envision while you were taking this picture..........go on the higher perch!.......go on the higher perch! Keeps us coming back for more.

[Steve Canuel]

Super sharpness, colors, detail, BG, and perch. Love the detail in the head!

Great image Freddy. The branch didn't bother him and it doesn't bother me either.
