    A herd of elephants on trek to strip the remaing bark/pulp from the downed and iconic mbuyu ya tobo (Swahili for "baobab with hole") that stood for well over 500 years, as huge thunder clouds loom large, signally the end of the long hot dry season that afternoon in Ruaha Nat Park- TZ.

    Hi Marc - A very nice scene with a dramatic sky with good detail in the clouds. I think the midtones and elephants seem a bit dark and heavy. If it were mine I would open up the midtones slightly.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Hi Marc -- Loved the scene and the colours ! Beautifully framed and conveys the situation well . I too feel it is slightly dark especially the elephants but still a lovely image . TFS !

    Great mood and colour palette here, Marc. I love the pano crop and the wide angle view. I'm sure there are lots of interpretations for a shot like this but your version works well for me.
