Lovely image Loi, and this qualifies for the monthly theme, in my opinion!
There's a cleanliness I really enjoy in this image, love the pink tinge in the sky, I might like it even more if you added a tad more contrast to the ellies. I just feel it needs a tad more "pop", Andreas style... Love the little ellie, his ears flat against his sides, showing determination to complete the journey...Maybe it's a she, not sure
Glaringly green grass...this is lovely, really great in terms of colours and I am enjoying viewing this image, a lot. You emphasized all that was important here, choosing what needed detail and the rest you left out - I do like your thinking, very well done!
Hi Gabriela, you are right, the image could use some more contrast. I also gave the baby and the adult behind the baby another round of sharpening. Hope you will like it better. Thank you! Loi
I absolutely love it, Loi! The IQ of this image is so good, by the way. Yes, it's got more life, more punch now, a subtle change with great effect, and I so love the little one with his ears so neatly folded backwards-very very sweet
Looking forward to your next post, I really like your work and especially the thoughtful, careful processing, wondering what's next?
Hi Loi - there's a tranquility to the image which is nice. The rp is an improvement with a bit more detail too. I like the comp with the little one walking between the 2 bigger eles. What time of day was this shot? There's an obvious magenta cast to the bg. Overall, well done.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Rachel, the BG is actually the red hill at this location, not sky. It was mid morning on an overcast sky. The sky was a dull grey, so I cropped it out.
Gabriela, thank you for your kind words! I learned most of my PP here on this Forum. Love this month theme, so will go back to the archive to look for images and reprocess them.
Hi Loi , very lovely collection of elephants in the frame .
I like the overall comp with the OOF elephants in the BKG giving a nice depth.I personally like the overall colors , still miss some more punch in the frame . Rp is an improvement i would just push it further .
Hi Loi - your images have a style that could only be yours. I like it. I would like a bit more clarity/lce or contrast. I think this is one of your best from this series of elephant images. So much going on but none of it conflicting with the other elements.

Hi Rachel, i kind of like the Red in the hill and added more Red in Saturation.
Hi Ed, will look into more contrast, I'm always worried about too much contrast, but in this case, the light was so soft, so adding more contrast could work.
A nice scene Loi. I agree with the magenta cast - evident in the elephants as well...
I like that the main elephants are nicely "separated" and distinct, even the one on the RHS in the BG.
