Hi Sanjeev, I really like this, lovely framing, but the icing on the cake is that beautiful trunk, lovely/perfect timing IMHO. DoF looks spot on, likewise the detail and sharpness. It's a little unfortunate to have the others on the LHS, however you could be naughty and copy/flip the RHS to just separate the whole FG elephant, very easy as you have some nice, hard lines to follow. Did you think about going B/W?

Hi Sanjeev -- What an excellent Ele portrait ! Terrific details and loved the framing , though tight but perfectly suits here , right in the face portrait . well done . TFS !

Hi Sanjeev - An excellent, frame-filling elephant portrait. Lots of detail and I love the curve of the trunk. Dof works well. I would also experiment with b&w with this one.

TFS,

Awesome capture, my friend!

That trunk just makes the image for me, together with those ears filling the frame.

Love the colours, warmth, beautiful detail, the tight framing brings me closer to this larger-than-life subject - I truly enjoyed viewing, TFS

Kind regards,
