    I like it! The composition works well for me and I like the tones. Did you go B&W be cause of the mist? I ask because I am curious to see if a colour version would be even better.

    Hi Haseeb, certainly different and I like it.

    For me a tad more below and a sliver more tonal range just for faction more separation in the BKG, adding that missing layering. Should the bird go, I'm 50/50.

    Hi Jon -- Thank you for your comment.

    I opted for BW as i already made use of the setting sun light and captured a few colour versions.

    Here is a link of the colour image that i posted here on BPN.

    Hi Steve -- there can be more at the base and reg the bird was 50/50 on it and then chose the other 50 and kept it.

    Hi Haseeb ... a really nice B&W elephantscape .
    Love the overall dimensions of the " small elephants " and the vast landscape .
    Only thing is , that i would liked a bit more foreground .... but naturally , not artificially extended

    Good to see different approaches !!!!!

    TFS Andreas

    Really like your composition Haseeb, b/w is just perfect. I like the mood and the subtle layering of the slopes from left to right and the diagonal ray of light. Still I think a bit more space in FG wouldnt hurt. Cant make my mind up about the bird though:)
