    This was at Timbavati where this else was feeding on the grass/hay and seemed to enjoy thrashing the grass while he was plucking it out!

    Hi Sanjeev - A fun image with the grass thrown around. Nice detail and sharpness. I like the curled trunk and raised leg. A little tight below for me but not a deal breaker.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    You've got good eye contact here Sanjeev with just the right amount of S/S to evoke that grass flicking motion.

    Great capture Sanjeev, love the action here and especially the attitude from the ellie, nice detail on the face and I love the movement in that bundle of grass! The eye contact is great and I wonder if the ellie was trying to tell you something? I like this very much, and also noticed with delight that little patch of sunshine on the elephant's chest - lighting conditions not ideal but well handled, an interesting behavioural shot I enjoyed viewing, very much.

    Kind regards,
    Gabriela Plesea

    Hi Sanjeev , nice action the youngster gave you , i like the fact you have the trunk with the grass blurred adding a nice movement effect to the image , instead having all sharp . This adds some interest .You handled the light quite nice with good detail and overall good tonal range .
    I am fine with the overall comp and not too tight at the bottom , but agree a wee bit more would not hurt .

    TFS Andreas

    Hi Sanjeev

    Like this little one very much! Can see the naughtiness/playfulness with him thrashing his food around!
    Like the DOF, comp is OK, agree with Andreas that a bit more at bottom wouldn't hurt.
    I would just try to get dome detail from the eyes.
    Nice one!
    Regards

    Andre.

    Hi Sanjeev, for me this isn't a good as the previous image, irrespective of colour. I feel it lacks the clarity & sharpness you had in the previous version and I would hedge my bets the original isn't that sharp???? Did you lighten the subject as I get the impression there has been some recovery??? I feel upping that ISO to even 800 would have helped both in terms of DoF (albeit a fraction more) & SS.

    Hopefully you can get some better images in the near future especially if you do swop bodies, let me know how you get on, plus I know I owe you a reply.

    TFS

    Hi Steve, yes I lifted the shadow a bit and agree the 7D isn't as good as the 5D3. As you know I have got rid of it, Am still waiting to buy the 7D II. Yeah, your reply is eagerly awaited
