Hi Andreas, though the lighting is not ideal the action and water splash makes up for the image. Well processed with nice sharpness & detail. A little more room below would have been nice but not a big deal.

Hi Andreas...you handled the harsh lighting quite nicely in this scene...the splashing water adds a nice element to the scene too...very nice!

[Rachel Hollander]

Hi Andreas - This is a fun image and the splash really makes the image. It's apparent the light was harsh but you handled it well. You've brought out the textures of the ele's hide really well.

TFS,
Rachel

HI Andreas -- A fun image indeed , liked the splashing water and you have handled the light exceptionally well. What's in her trunk , appears like tail of an animal ! very nicely done.

I remember something similar( simialr frame)that you have posted earlier ?

TFS !

Love the fun aspect here Andreas with the swaying trunk and water. I might 'skew' the LHS with a mask to bring the water line more horizontal.

A fun shotI am not in the least concerned about the lighting in fact I like it, it looks interesting.
