    Default Moving Elephants

    Hey folks...just back from a quick trip to the Kruger National Park and the Sabi Sands Game Reserve...
    We had some good sightings but as we arrived the weather turned foul and I literally shot in overcast/rainy weather for 4 days...
    Still, my motto is "have camera, will shoot" and the overcast weather allows me to shoot into the middle of the day if there's something to shoot.

    This herd of elephants were drinking from a dam in the Kruger Park and at this point were moving towards the large dam to my right.

    Looks like a fun place Morkel, might have been better without the two top LH corner?

    Where you are Morkel I don't think you have an issue with the weather.

    Morkel - too bad about the weather but I'm sure you still made the most of your opportunities. I like this overall. It does convey a sense of movement. I agree with Steve about the ones in the ulc and also wish that the legs of the elephant hidden behind the biggest one weren't visible (between trunk and legs of biggest ellie) but not huge detractors in my mind.

    TFS,

    Nice grouping and variety of sizes. Also like the interspersing of bushes. Having one (or both) in the ULC heading in the same direction would've made this even better.
