Hi Oscar,

nice shot I like the the setting :smile:

It looks a little bit flat though.

Thanks - the awards ceremony is on 10 December.

Here is a repost - is it any better?

Hi Oscar - looks better on re-post. My eye does go to the small hole in the canopy in the top left corner (but no biggy). I like the position of the elephant within the grasses.

Good luck with the Heron image.
