Great dof; would like a little more detail in the elephant and a little brighter, however, if I could get that close I would not do as well as you have. (voted earlier)
It's always nice to see animals in their environment rather than the usual extreme close-ups. The only quibble (and it is a quibble) is I think the photo would be even more vibrant if the clouds were a whiter shade. Nicely done - 8
The wide open spaces make it difficult to judge the size of the elephant. Very nice colors and composition. I like the cluster of two trees on one side of the center, and the elephant on the other. Nice sky too.
Fabulous capture of wild... look ferocious and aggressive. Any trumpeting or loud breathing warning noise will cause the camera and wide angle lens with vibration blur :) A brave capture...sorry I can only vote 8 bcoz the skies editing a little bit not so natural.
the tones are too flat, the sky is a bit to dramatic, tone it down. the location of the subject is off, try moving him over to the bottom right third point, placing the horizon as close as possible to the bottom third line and zoom in some.
Absolute WOW, for capture and composition, but the sky is a tad oversaturated for my taste. Definitely an image to be proud of and it would look quite at home in National Geographic.
fantastic picture but the post processing is a bit off in my opinion..little too muddy and you can see the dark hdr-ish halos around the clouds...shame for this challenge but can be easily reworked, you got yourself a great image!
while I like the muted contrast on the elephant and the landscape, it doesn't work for me on the sky. Just a slight dodge on the clouds would have made this perfect for me.
Iconic. Makes me want to dash out there and be one with the bush.
I've seen this one in B&W I think and it was stunning too, preferred it to the colour version.
