Dear Sanjeev,
Well captured and I really like the way your ellie moves with a purpose, he seems to be on a mission:) The pano crop works for me. Techs are great.
Despite the fact that you did allow for the virtual feet of the subject, I do feel a tad more space at the bottom of the frame would have benefitted this image - I guess a matter off proportion? I had the same issue with the Kudu I posted tonight, eventually decided to add some canvas.
Good detail on the ellie, I just feel he is a tad too dark: almost backlit, but not quite. I would try play with exposure a bit, there might be other ways to deal with this but you'll have to explore the possibilities
Thank you so much for sharing Sanjeev,
Warmest regards,

Hi Sanjeev - Another nice river scene. I too upon opening felt that the ele was a bit too dark and underexposed. Does it need a slight cw rotation judging by the river edge (not the hilltop)? Also watch the halo along the forehead of the ele.
TFS,
Rachel

Hi Sanjeev -- lovely scene ! I too agree with the above especially the dark appearance , i think you can play with some sliders to get that necessary brightness to the subject and definitely some more space at the bottom .

I like the riverine habitat and purpose in the stride of this nice tusker Sanjeev, Gabriela has some good advice re, lower room and opening up a tad more detail on the ele.

Hi Sanjeev, I think you allowed your camera to take control here, as you could have gone much lighter, exposing for the Elephant and then dealt with the BKG very easy in PP without affecting any IQ. My feeling is that if you lift the subject, (albeit minimal ISO800) you will start to highlight any slight noise, not a good idea. A slight CW rotation would help too I think.

Nice shot I like the movement, my impression is the ele is a little underexposed. I would have almost certainly set the camera to +2/3 for a shot like this.

Some good suggestions given, Doc. I like the scene and the layers in it. A pity about the long OOF grasses in front but not much you could have done.
