Hi Ravi,
Lovely shot of this elephant, the vertical crop is perfect for this shot, can't help wondering what the poor girl is thinking about looking out at the ocean like that, really nice work all the best Cheers Rick

Hi Ravi
Nice sharp photo, good colors and clarity. Compositionally, it may be better by cropping the tree trunk because you only have half of it. In my opionion, you might as well zoom in for the larger elephant profile to make a stronger impression. Try it. May be, May be not, just an idea.

Hi Ravi, your note is very interesting - thanks for sharing that with us.
I love seeing the elephant on the beach - it seems so strange. But what a super beach it is too - reminds me of Fiji.

I would crop off an inch from teh top of the photo - the sky seems to dominate, and with it cropped off the elephant would stand out more. Still it is a very enjoyable photo

Hello Ravi,
I think this is a great capture and I like the way the elephant is hidden behind the tree trunk. I agree with Janice about cropping at the top but otherwise it is a very fine composition. Great sharpness and fine colours too. I enjoyed reading your note as well - those islands must be wonderful!
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Great composition Ravi. i think it was a great idea to keep the tree in the frame than exclude it, It somehow adds to the photo. It may have looked pretty bland without it. very simple but great capture.
