Hi Goldy,
Great POV, really nice to see them moving 'en masse' like this through what looks like pretty deep grass. Shows that you don't need an ultra close up image with all the subjects details on clear display to get a great wildlife shot, well done.
tfs,
Paul

Some things you don't have to explain...I already knew the title to song...one of my fav's although Bette is quite the character...She should follow advice in her lyrics:-) Very nice image in your unique style...and you do seem to enjoy the woods and the elephants most often, so far:-)

Dear Goldy,
You had been through out lucky as far as elephants coverage were concerned. I was not during my visit to this pilgrimage! I appreciate all your captures despite of they are not that as sharp as they could have been otherwise in majority. But when it comes to the output and freezing the moment at Dhikala for treknature; there you are :). Your clicked this photograph has slight tilt to left but that goes well with the natural flow & inclination of Ramganga river towards barrage. Thanks to your telephoto lens for us to see the beauties at Dhikala. Surprizingly the tuskers are missing! Cheers for good coverage from you.
Regards-Ranjan

Hi Goldy. Great memories come to My mind when I read Your note. When i was a little boy, we had a big storm, a lot of lightning that night, i was scared, and My father told me. "It is Our God, He is taking photos to Us from heaven with a very strong flash"
Saludos My friend.

Hey Golds,
Great shot. Very good clarity considering the distance. Good exposure and nice warm colors.
On a lighter note... what's next...an aerial shot of elephants...every other POV of an elephant or the family has now been covered I guess. This time though, they have started maintaining distance it seems. LOL.

TFS

Hello Gody,
A fine capture of Indian Elephants in their habitat. I like the way you composed it with them moving into the picture through the long grasses and the POV gives us a fine perspective view.
Thanks for sharing this fine image and for you taking my house sparrow immage into your favorites!
Best wishes, Ivan

Hi Goldy.
Many thanks for your interest to my shots. I am very pleased. I also estimate these comments as pleasant invitation to watch your new pictures.

Despite the long subject distance you managed to create a very natural shot of attractive scene. You have reflected a beauty of the pictured place and cute family of the big animals nicely. My compliments and kind regards.

Hi Goldy,
Excellent shot of this Elephant herd on the move. Nice luch green landscape and they seem to be having a gala time there. Pity that you missed to frame the entire body of the extreme right elephant. Anyway and superb image with very impressive sharpness, colours, lighting and exposure. Fine POV from that elevated place (will want to know from where exactly - was it a tree house or a watch tower?) Very nice composition. Kudos.
TFS.
