Good evening Steve,

Hope all good on your side, just popped in briefly as I have the usual wifi issues so again on data, thought I'd add my thoughts here.

I like this very much and especially since you decided to process in black and white. The conversion eliminates distractions in the background and certainly helps emphasise the mud and splashing and all the action at the waterhole.

Good framing, the {darker) leg of the big ele on the LHS adds a nice 3D feel to this frame. You managed to capture the atmosphere, always a bit chaotic when they rush to the water and one can see the joy the eles take when able to bathe and drink.

Techs look good overall, nice detail as always and sharpness is there in good measure. You must have lots from this sighting?

As always a pleasure to view...hope you have a wonderful evening and many thanks for sharing,

Warmest regards,

Gabriela
 
Thanks Gabriela, much appreciated. It was such a privilege to be so close and really appreciated their awesome size, but with move such a delicate foot, each move is so calculated.

No idea where Jon is?????????????
 
He's here, I have only just noticed the post!
Before I comment I think I would like to see a colour version...... this one isn't blowing me away I sese colour would make it more relatable (to me).
 
Looks good to me. I like the B&W processing very much. For certain images it looks great and this one of those. The framing on a certainly different to the norm we se for pachyderm and really helps this image to stand out.

Hurrah, very perceptive Phil, your assumption is spot on. B/W is just so iconic with these big old units, likewise Rhino.

Thank you.
