    Default Aint no mana pools!

    Inspired by Mork's Mana Pools images, I am posting one with a similar pose. This was at OD, Bots. I was happy to see this big fella reach out for some fodder on a tree. I remembered Mana Pools images often posted by Morkel and was happy to see something on those lines. The elephant was nicely tucked between the trees, A bit busy frame but hope you like the scene.

    Hi Sanjeev, it may not be Mana Pools, but it conveys the situation oh so well, I really like it. In addition this just typifies just how far you have come, if you compare the Leopard cub and this, this for me is one giant step. I can't comment on colour/exposure as I'm away, but both techs & overall comp/processing just works! You handled the light well and controlled the shadows too.
    A very nice image indeed.

    Hi Sanjeev - A nice scene with the elephant reaching for the higher food. The processing and techs look better too. Love the golden light. I just wish the elephant took a step forward so that the heavy shadows weren't right across the eye but I bet you do too.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Lovely pose, setting and light here Doc.
    I would shave some off top and bottom, but not crop as square as Haseeb has.
    I would tone down overall brightness via a luminosity mask as well as deepen midtone contrast.

    Glad I could provide some inspiration
