Hi Haseeb - Very dramatic sky and colors. This works well. I like the layers of color. Nice one.

Hi Haseeb, an opportunity well used here, and love the silhouetted Ellies. Im going to go against the above comments and would like to see this with out the 'coloured sky. Crop just below the yellow of the sky. Do a mouse scroll to see what I mean.

Hi Haseeb - simply awesome!!! 
Well seen & executed, really like your thinking here, especially keeping the subjects small within the environment. I also very much the way you have used the light and colours to create the 'layering' effect, one really cool image and certainly one of your best.
Again, like Stu's image of the deer, I would like to ask Andrew M to look and comment because he could have some thoughts in extracting some more depth & detail as it, for me, also crosses over into Landscapes. I had a quick play with Curves & the Exp panel which punches up things a bit more and a hint more detail (without Nik) so will send it to you later.

Thank you everyone !
@ Stu : The crop that you have suggested makes this almost a monochromatic image and gives it a more pano look, the version looks good though .
@ Steve - Will wait for your email .

It's sitting waiting for you Haseeb, but again, colour and detail is subjective.

Hi Haseeb...I really like this scene quite a bit...great blues and nicely silhouetted elephants and foreground terrain too...good call to crop some off of the bottom...if there was any more it would look rather heavy along the bottom edge. As presented I think I would be inclined to crop about half of the space between the elephants and the left edge away to move the elephants more into a rule of thirds position. Another tweak you or may not wish to do would be to use Nik's Viveza 2...place a control point on the upper-most sky and increase the Warmth slider a touch to add a bit more pop to the warm tones in the upper sky. Ideally my preferance would be for both elephants looking in the same direction, but it is certainly not a deal breaker for this lovely capture...just a though to consider if you have any alternate images of this scene whereby they may both be looking in the same direction. Very nicely done!

Hi Andrew, many thanks for swinging by, I know time is precious, but I really feel that this image would benefit from a 'Landscapers' POV and Haseeb could also learn from your thoughts.
Cheers Bud.

Thank you Andrew for visiting this post and providing your valuable comment . Very interesting to see how you pursued this image . I will try and see how well i can implement those suggestions. Also Steve has sent me a RP for the same and in which he has addressed the pop issue with the image . I am not sure whether both were looking at each other or not but will check once again for the same . Thank you !
