Hi all,
Here is an image from Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania. Th place was simply huge and the landscape gorgeous. The light at dawn and dusk was magical. These 3 elephants were crossing the river and the sheer expanse of the place made them look like tiny creatures and not the gentle giants that they are.

Hi Sanjeev, I like the tranquil setting and overall colours, albeit I do feel there is a colour cast within the image. Personally I might clean up the water, but just my take.
This reminds me of one of the reserves in Kruger as I was eating a nice steak! I suspect you may have done a few versions of this image playing with the colours, I know there can be an orange glow... looks credible but I think maybe is there some purple creeping in?
Interesting that John mentioned Kruger Park in SA, I had the same thought when I opened the thumbnail:)
I like this Sanjeev, somehow I wish there was a string of ellies and not just three but I am happy with the colours, and I think the red - or orange glow - happens in Africa after a hot day, you must have captured this scene at 5 or 6 pm, last light?
Are those hippies (hippos) in the river on the RHS? I think they are! Lovely tranquil scene and the palm in the BG a nice feature, so is the little 'island' in the river.
Well seen and captured, you were there and it mattered to you, very special memory and I can relate to this myself. Enjoyed viewing, very much - thank you for sharing
