Found this image from my old files from 2013 trip to Amboseli. Can't believe I never saw it until today. We went for the classic Serengeti safari migration, and I added 2 nights at Amboseli only as an afterthought, but it was the best part of the trip. Will want to go back and spend 4 or 5 nights there next time.

Cropped and rotated, added a sliver of canvas to the lower left side corner due to rotation.
Thank you for your comments.

Reason: Added contrast
how much did you crop this image? Details are good for me you might can get a bit more out of it.
The tusks I would tone down a tad. Somehow I would like to see a bit more room around him. This is just me, of course, everybody has a different taste
Hi Loi - Definitely worth going back to the files for and a classic scene. Nice walking pose, details and overall tones. I would prefer a bit more room below. The egret(?) looks a little grey, I think you can bring back the whites on it a bit. Nice one.
A classic Amboseli scene here Loi, nicely processed, I do agree you can bring some white back into the egret, but the tusks (at least for me) look OK.
Just wondering if you have some more lower room if not F/F?

Hi Everyone, thank you for your comments. I have more space all around except the bottom. Obviously I can add more canvas, but I often don't feel it is worth it. Loi
Very pleased to see this image when I opened this thumbnail and I really enjoyed viewing, it has a 3D feel to it and the colours are absolutely lovely! The crop and presentation just right for me, nice detail everywhere and the little egret getting a ride on the ellie's back a nice bonus, well done capturing and processing this, works for me 100%
