You were dealing with some strong light here that caused the road to wash out. I downloaded the image and in Photoshop using the adjustment Shadows/Highlights set as follows, was able to tame much of the washed out highlights.
Herds are often difficult to deal with. Here the head of the one on the right is partially obscured. Better to get him more in the open if possible. I like the placement of the lead elephant in the road and leading the way for the others. I would suggest a bit more room on the left was needed to get that elephant more room to the left edge. The road makes a good leading line into the image and leads the viewer right to the elephants - that was a good idea with the composition.
