    Hi Sanjeev - great interaction and the pano crop works well. You've brought out some good detail and sharpness despite the slow ss and handheld from a boat. I'd apply a little NR to the bg.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Lovely moment Sanjeev. It does seem slightly less-than-crisp with the slow SS you used for an effective 1120mm focal length...also some grittiness is present as per expected 7D file quality. I'd have probably pushed the SS up to 1/400 for an ISO increas to 1600 given you remained at f7.1 - all in hindsight of course.

    Besides the NR that Rachel suggested I'd also go for a slight warming filter on the elephants to remove latent blue and green tinges?

    Thanks Rachel & Morkel. This was a 50-60% crop which also may have caused the grittiness of the already not-so-great 7D IQ. I really wanted to up the ISO but was not sure if 1600 would have looked good as the light wasn't great.
