Great techs and nice arrangement within the frame!
Ken, it would be great, if you have a frame, where middle elephant is clear on both the sides. Hope it makes some sense. angel

That African dust is tough on the eyes! Nice capture of a unique behavior. I like the OOF elephants on the left. They lead my eye to the main subject.

Ken I like the DOF of this shot. The gradually fading focus really gives a sense of slow plodding movement of the procession. Good overall composition and balance. The details are great on the leader.

Jagdeep,
Unfortunately the Elephants would not "unbunch"

Skip and Ed
Thanks very much

Good techs, nice light. I think I would prefer a bit more space, but really like the staggered placement of the elephants.

Ken:
I really like the composition of the three elephants, with the front elephant emphasized by being in focus and the other two
elephants slightly out of focus. You captured a great moment with the itchy eye. Well done!
