Brendon - gorgeous colors of the sky. Too bad about the youngster because it does sort of look funny there but I like the placement of the ellie in the frame. Well done.

TFS,

Brendon,
The silhouette and sunset sky are superb. This shot would have been an award winner if the baby had been silhouetted as well. As it is, the baby bump looks odd and will always need an explanation for the viewer.

I guess this is an almost got it moment. I have lots of them. A lot to like about this image including the picturesque sunset and well placed ellie.

My sentiments as well Gail, still a very nice image here Brendon, with superb sky colour.

Wonderful sky, composition, and I really like the curled over trunk of the adult elephant. Lots to like in this image. I do agree with posters above about the baby...so so close!

Thanks very much every one, indeed one of those almost moments, so close yet so far

Hi Brendon, the ellie silhouette really stands out against your colourful sky. Im actually fine with the almost baby bump, but Iwould like to see a little more space at the bottom.

Brilliant. Just Brilliant.
