    Peter,

    Yet another beautiful study illustrating the special qualities of Etosha, Zebra add even more.

    Only 6 months to go.

    Another one full of character Peter.

    I like as presented, if you go pano then the balance of sky to land would be 50/50 and personally feel you would lose the composition. Might add a hint more contrast on the main elephant?

    I like this very much. I think you should mention the zebras as much as the two background elephants when thanking your maker... they could have really messed things up but it almost looks like they stopped to wait for you to get the shot before proceeding! :)

    There a lots of interesting composition choices available here, all providing different "triangulation" of the ghosts, but I can't say I could choose better than you already did. Apart from the obvious, I love the textture in the grass.

    Hi Peter, I am with Paul on grass texture, really like it. Great composition with ellies and zebras are perfectly placed. The best is the white/gray dust on the elephants and also like the DOF. Stunning dark sky. Did you darken the sky or was this as photographed? TFS

    Hi Peter, love the IQ and light, and good to see the inclusion of the other ellies and zebbies.

    Peter, great series of images. I just love the environment, the grass, the sky color and the elephants so match the mood of the environment. Just perfect.

    Peter - agree with everyone else, another fabulous image. I think the zebras add to it. Great color, mood and light. Etosha was already on my list but your images make me want to move it to the top of the list.

    TFS,
    Rachel
