    One of the highlights of my trip was the boat safari/cruise at Chobe river. It really got us face to face with the huge number of elephants that come down to the river bank to quench their thirst every evening.

    Hi Sanjeev- It certainly does look like you had a fruitful trip along the river and overall. I like this one a lot with the low pov and both elephants drinking but apparently looking at the boat. Looks like the light was a bit harsh and the image is a little bright. Like with the other image I think you can bring out more with a few tonal adjustments and perhaps dropping the exp slightly. Maybe a tiny bit more sharpening too.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Dear Rachel, Thanks for the comments. Here is a RP I just made following your tips. How does this look? BTW this is full frame/no crop at all.

    Hi Sanjeev - The rp is an improvement. Try an inverse luminosity mask on the rp at about 25-30% to bring out a little more detail in the darker/shadow areas.

    Nice one Sanjeev. Agree with Rachel's comments and think the composition is less "cluttered" in this one.
