Nice one Morkel I don't mind the "rippled " reflection. Does n't compete with the main sbject.
The sky is great and my only small nit as a non safari photographer is that I would like sme more space on the left with some taken off the right (If you have it)
I am very envious of your places and stuff etc out there. It really is hard to compare with the stuff here we havent got !
Cheers
John

Morkel, this is a great image, the clouds, low POV, reflection, water, the elies. It looks a bit too much blue in the sky, but you were there. Was a storm approaching that gave the darkness in the cloud? Loi

John, I do have more space, as a quick fix I could just lop off a bit on the RHS.
Loi - I forgot to mention I used a polariser for the clouds, sky and reflection...
...there were storms every day during our safari, and this was a build-up to one for sure.

Hi Morkel - Beautiful animalscape and reflection. Will leave the colors to others now. We've hardly seen a cloud in the sky.

Hi Morkel, this image illustrates my point to Loi nicely. Just had a whole herd of Elephants come down to a waterhole this morning, but a hard shot to isolate. Nice clouds adds depth, sadly as Rachel mentioned, zero clouds here. Like the reflection & cloud vapour trail. Just talking to someone about the boat at Chobe as it came up the other night over dinner.
BTW may see Brendon in the next few days

Hey Morkel. I love this. The reflection adds to the image but doesn't distract you from the main subject. I must agree with John though in that I also feel there is to much space on the right of the frame.
Still lovely image though

Good use of the CP filter here Morkel, with subsequent added colour & reflection boost.

Gotta love that specialized photo boat for getting images from a low POV! The CP really added the color drama to the image. Beautiful compositional layers of foreground water, grass middle ground with the subjects, and the dramatic cloud-filled sky bkgd. I think that ele reflection is the icing on the cake!

This is a beauty in every way, Morkel! Cannot see the magenta on the ellies, I guess my screen is hopeless, if not Magenta-less

Don't know what I am going to do this month, I have no reasonable animalscapes but maybe I will manage some at Shingwezi and post before the month is over...Meanwhile - I am enjoying this image so much, the vivid colours of the land and those amazing skies, lovely capture Morkel, - congratulations!
Kind regards,

Stunning capture Morkel!
Reading the comments, it dawned on me that I hardly use my smaller lenses, stuck on the 600 or sometimes the 300.
Will force myself to use the shorter focal lengths for the few days in Shingwidzi.
Thanks for pushing me to jump out of my box!
