I love this photo so much! If I could go visit elephants roaming about like this, I think I would become obsessed and not have any other life :) What a happy story it tells!
Refreshing to see what I take to be a genuine African wildlife photograph. The composition is very well balanced, and I love the inclusion of the retreating elephants - it gives an excellent feeling of 'herd'. I am not so sure about the sepia toning; it gives the photo a somewhat muddy and flat feel, which is a great shame given that there is detail throughout.
Very 60's film style in processing. I like the dawdling tardy interaction between the two younger foreground elephants and the older rear elephants already moving off to greener pastures. So typical of them in the bush but sadly the focus is way off any Elephant and appears to be only on the foreground shrubs. 6
This really appeals to me because it has such a beautiful soft quality yet loaded with texture. Interesting dynamic between the two animals, makes me wonder what they are thinking. Great shot.
