I appreciate the view of a real world I will never see except in stills and videos. My only nit here is I would love to see more dust and light. :toast:

Nice moody shot Jagdeep. It is the way the dust catches the sunlight that really lifts this.

Very nice pastoral scene Jagdeep, it makes me wonder where they are headed and leads me to hope that the circumstances are positive. I do wish for a bit more space on the right side for them to enter. Cropping a little from the left side to eliminate some of those dark dead trees might give the impression of more space proportionately to the right. Philip is right, this photo does have a feel of realism. :toast:

Very nice image, Jagdeep! I love the dust and the light is gorgeous. I would have liked to see a bit more heads of the elephants, but you can't arrange them.... :toast:

Jagdeep, I like this quite well for the dramatic backlighting effect. I suppose it could have been perfect if the other elephants were more facing the camera, but the attention is on the broadside individual.

Dust just works in these kinds of situations.
I do wish they were coming my way :wink:

The dust makes the mood indeed Jagdeep. Only the man-made looking (even if it is not man-made) embankment detracts from my appreciation of this as a whole.

Thanks friends!
Vincent, this embankment is not man made, but made by Ramganga river.

I do wish they were going in the viewers direction, but it still tells a good story.
