    Default Savuti bull Ele bath

    Captured this bull Ele at one of the many waterholes around Savuti, tried to eek out as much detail in the shadows here via Viveza 2,
    turned out for me that the colour version looked nicer than my original idea of a B&W , with the water & skin giving a nice steel/cyan tone.
    The trunk, head & ears revealed some nice texture I feel. Has come up quite well in a 30x20 print.

    D3 500VR 1/350s ISO200@f/5.6 Savuti GR- Botswana Sept '09

    C & C most welcome

    Cheers

    This is a cool looking image. I like all the detail - good use of DOF and not limiting it here.

    I know that you have a large FG to support the virtual body underwater that we cannot see, but I find that my eye stumbles across that OOF area getting to the elephant. When I browser crop about 1/2 of the FG out, I find my eye goes right to the elephant's eye.

    Great angle and details. Like the DOF and IMG is well exposed.
