[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a shot I chose not to edit, apart from resizing it.I love this shot for the fact that this captured elephants the way they are and like to be, not the way we'd like to see them.They, especially the younger ones, seemed to be having so much fun here, literally throwing mud at each other, not very different from a bunch of kids having fun on a picnic!

This happens to be my favourite shot, hope you like it!

Hi Goldy,
great family portrait, you can see the dust in the air here from their playing. Like the setting of stones and tall grasses too, nice shot.

Hi Goldy,
Wonderful shot again of this Elephant herd having a field day. You are also having a fabulous time with these elegant animals around. I really am a bit jealous now. I like this jungle atmosphere and the natural wildlife scene. Excellent POV and composition. Kudos.
TFS.

* Your continuous posting from JCNP has made me curious. Can we all know a little about you and your areas of interest? It will be so kind of you.

Hello Goldy great looking family caught here, details look fine I might have adjusted the black point to get a little more contrast. Beautifull work tfs rgds Necip.

Hi Goldy

A lovely shot - good composition and POV with nice colour and detail - the dust adds a nice element to the shot. Well observed and captured.

Hi Goldy,
Wonderful image of this family having fun. I can see why this would be a favorite spot, it must be incredible to see these in the wils. Thanks for sharing.

The depth of view is very good in this image of the herd of elephants, Goldy.
You seem to be turning an elephant specialist.
Keep it up and all the best.

Hello Goldy

Very good POV and DOF.
You have captured this herd well,the composition is very good.
Excellent job to photograph these amazing animals.

Rob

I can see why you like this one... so do I ... it expresses everything that elephants are. I agree that it could use a little adjustment of contrast. It's a wonderful photo, though, TFS.

Mish

I did a workshop to bring up the contrast, hope you don't mind.
