A beautiful composition of these two pachyderms.
The details are very sharp. I can see every crease in their skin.
The light is fantastic, and so are their poses.
I also like the lovely natural BG.
TFS. : )

Hello Ben,
Those big guys are well detailed and I like to see this natural environment. I guess that I would have composed it with more space right than left to let them more space to walk :) I like this perspective and natural lightning. I wish I can visit this place someday; it really seems wonderful with so many wild species... Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Ben,
a nice picture of these big thirsty guys, one of them seems very thirsty since he use two trunks;-)
well composed, nice POV and good details.
Well done.
