stunning mood, action and use of space Marc. They sure had to be far for them to be this small in that lens barrel ;) the dust and colours make this special
Hi Marc Like it a lot !! Excellent mood and framing, going wide makes all the difference !!
... could play around with the layers varying density for even more apparent depth !!! Big Congrats !!!
Hey Marc
Al's suggestion (as always) is a good one. Like the setting & interaction. Also a wider crop, more sky to give it perspective, or would that then lose the moment?:)

Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
A beautiful and very enjoyable image Marc. The light, comp and dust make a very polished shot. Sure they'll be ways to present differently, but I like what you see here and will do for me. :):)
Agreed with Davidbhai here , One fine image Marc ,

Marc,
Great concept but I am not sure if the result is doing it justice, I think this is one where you could play with the colour densities a little more.
Hi Marc, I like the interaction, flying dust, and the overall setting works well. Well captured.
A beautiful and interesting shot, definetly has a twilight feel to it. :cool:
Marc, this is a lovely capture and you could probably work it every few months and get a totally different end image every time by using different crops and different post production (as others have said). Really like what you've seen. Well done.
The dust cloud gives this a sense of action and adds nicely to the hazy, late day look and feel of the BG.
Really like the colors and the way the sun adds some color to the dust.
WOW!! beautiful image. Well seen and composed. Playing around will create many different flavors...but I love it a lot as-is too. The contrast created by the dust around the elephants makes this one special. And I like that is not a full silhouette. The texture on the elephants gives it a natural and 3D feel.
Hey Marc,
Outstanding!!! The light and mood on this are just fantastic and that you managed to get the struggle w/o the elephants intersecting the horizon is a huge bonus! Love the inclusion of just the bit of environs too. I am with Al that you could tweak this for even more depth......but that would just make a great image even that much better! Congrats on this one!
Wow, the colour of the dust, coupled with the marvellous composition and action, makes this a sublime and thoroughly enjoyable image!
