    Peter,

    The park was unseasonably wet. I have a trip report posted on Safaritalk here is a link

    The good news is that they have armed rangers patrolling again, and the staff have new uniforms!

    Ken,
    This is a good image. The previous image was simply superb. In this image, I wish the tail was not visible or atleast at a lower position. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,
    Sabyasachi

    Preferred your earlier post too Ken. As with Sabyasachi, I wish the tail was not there either. Thanks for that link.

    A handsome fella Ken :) Another vote to lose the tail and perhaps strangely (?) the eyelash of the hidden eye. It must be amazing to see him in the wild.

    Elephant looks good and I like his position but I agree with others that the tail grabs the eye and that is not what you want.

    The light looks good, and I like the raised foot. Maybe a bit tight on the RHS.
