A complete water hole story Ken. Very well captured.
A lovely story indeed. They look like they are enjoying the water.

Well portrayed here Ken, with this herd making use of the dwindling supply. Perhaps a selective increase in contrast on the herd?

As already said - tells the story. And after some thought I think the one on the left really adds to that story and the shot as a whole.
Sorry Paul, the one on the left doesn't do anything to the composition, especially as it's 'truncated', or cut in half. If the herd was a tad more central with a hint more at the foot then it would be better. It needs more in levels/curves to give it more punch and depth, however the two elephants on the lhs are soft which does sadly spoil the image. Quite a nice interaction Ken.
Post Production: It’s ALL about what you do with the tools and not, which brand of tool you use.
Thanks for the comments.
Just out of interest the "waterhole" was illegal as it was pumped, but it did bring a lot of game in, probably dry now as the camp has closed.
I like how all of them are angled towards you. Light looks fine. I feel a little more space on the right will work.
A beautiful story of these pachyderms, Ken. Love the way they are all converging into a vanishing point on the waterhole.
