    Hi Sanjeev, I think based on this I might have gone for the 500 and a tighter shot of the head and curled trunk. For me that's the shot as I feel the environment on this isn't ideal and possibly doesn't add much to the image, but lets see what others say when they chime in. Got to love those trunks, the feeling is just like crepe paper, but the suction power is awesome and the agility...

    Hi Sanjeev - I like the curled trunk pose. I do agree with Steve, while I like the waterhole and the far side, it's the branches in the fg that are problematic. Not much you could do to avoid them though.

    TFS,

    Hi Sanjeev i like the elephant itself as subject with some nice detail and the curled trunk is a nice bonus and makes this image. The rest is ....... we all have this kind of shots , mainly they do stay on the hard drive and get never used .

    Shooting tighter would have worked better , i think.

    Ps : sharpening does look better to me than previous one , but it was easier because you are not having these extreme HL on the elephants skin.

    TFS Andreas
