Hello

I cropped this one pano.And converted it to B&W.

Again taken at a safari park

C & C welcome

Thank you for your view

PS.Its more appealing than my other shot anyway

I like this image a lot.

I'm not a great fan of B&W nature images, but this suits it very well indeed and the pano format works equally well.

Martyn Colbeck will be after you though

Mr. Colbeck sprang to mind as soon as your image loaded in my browser - all you need to do is work the zoom during the exposure and you'll have 'arrived' !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice image and for me BW works great here as it emphasizes the texture of the hide.

Nice one Alan

I like this a lot, the fact it is B&W, the texture and tone, the split frame are excellent. I was just wondering about the composition as you have stightly broken the 'standard rules for pano'; namely that all areas of interest should fall on or the middle 3rd (central band) - the eye (just) doesn't adhere to this but to get it to do so you loose the virtual bottom of the ear by a larger margin - unless you have more image to play with?

I do really like this image. What Safari Park was it? I feel like having a go myself.

Elephants definately lend themselves to black and white I reckon, this is excellant full of texture and mood.
