This is a great shot. For the challenge, it would have been stronger if it was cropped closer to the guy in blue and the two closest elephants. But, this might win on originality as is. Really well done.
I love this shot! It is by far the best shot in the challenge, I hope it wins blue. It is exotic, funny, captures action, tells a story. Makes me want to be there. I do hope you will tell what was happening after the challenge. My only slight technical critique is that I wish was cropped tighter on the right to match the left. But no matter-- 10
What an excellent photo! Your sense of light and color contrast is wonderful. The subject matter is engrossing. However, the composition is weak and the lighting is a bit flat. Consider cropping off the right edge so the composition is more refined. I'd also crop off the top so the row of elephants is vertically centered, which would draw even more attention to them.
This is one of the better people-jumping-on-elephants shots I've seen in this challenge. ;-)The subject is very interesting and appropriate for this challenge and the composition is nice, but the shot is a bit dark and perhaps a little over-sharpened. It also might be nice to zoom in on about half of these people/elephants to get a bit more detail. Still this is a nice photo - good job.
Wonderful tableau. To me, a more focused frame like two to four elephants or boys (for example, the first four elephants) instead of this wide angle would have been more effective. The last elephants on the right no longer give more information. But it is a good example of stopped motion.
