Mt. Etjo Elephants

Wanted to give this an old safari style effect. Elephants were trying to get a little shade even though it was spring and very little growth yet on the trees. The little one was getting better shade from the females. Shot with Nikon D200

Dappled light is tricky!  I think the sepia tone is a good choice.  I would wish for a slightly different perspective, in that the framing curve of the tree ( a positive choice) feels just a little too close to the elephants and double the amount of space between the tree and the group would be nice.
