    Harshad this really warrants being in full technicolour. Based on the content it has all that you will want within an image so please post in colour to do it justice.

    As portrayed in the OP personally I would like more separation between the RH elephant and the tree in the BKG, but the colour version might work better and address this?

    Love the setting Bhai, especially the openess of the FG. Good to see Kilimanjaro, and I like the line of cloud running across the image. Another vote to see this in colour.

    Harshad - Beautiful setting and I too would like to see it in color. There are a few dust spots or artifacts on the rhs above the largest tree (one is partially in the lower clouds and 2 on the mountain) and then also in the lower clouds just to the left of the left most ellie.

    TFS,
    Rachel

    Nice big view look of the elephants in their environment. What does bother me is many of them have trees coming out of the top of their heads.

    Harshad,

    This deserves to be seen in colour, I will wait until you repost before commenting fully.

    Cheers

    Harshad,

    I am sure you realise that this is the classic African Image. I have to say that for me it just has not quite worked, and having tried I can see no real way of improving it a lot.

    For me the Elephants needed to be nearer and have a more dominant role in the image.

    Sorry about that.

    Cheers

    Ken

    Unfortunately, neither the color or B&W works for me, although I prefer the B&W. I have very little experience with B&W, but I have a feeling that someone with knowledge of the new NIK program could really improve on this one.

    This one is interesting to me because I normally prefer color shots but I like the clouds and mountains better in the B/W but the FG and animals of the color version (although the shadows seem pretty dark to me but could be my monitor). Color version also seems a little tilted to the left (as viewed) compared to the OP.
