I like these kinds of shots Ivan. An animal in its environment. I like the seperation of the legs and especially the front raised one. I also like the slight head turn. Would've preferred the tree behind his head to be located somewhere else in the image but that picking. Nice one.

These days I also like animals in their environment. Initially, when I didn't have these super teles, I used to strive for all the focal length and tight compositions. These days, my focus is more on the animal in their enviroment. I like this image with the raised leg. It seems the wideangle has given lot of depth of field even at f5.6. Thanks for sharing.
Great light & detail. Some nice action and implied direction. The acacia right above the elephants head is a bit distraction but overall very nice.....
