Thanks Ganesh. No I haven't used Grad filter for this shot. In fact the foreground and elephants were much darker in the original RAW file... managed to get some detail in shadow area while processing....
Fantastic image all the way, and light is very nicely handled here... For me, it is always very difficult to get such nice sun and foreground details in such conditions... Beautifully done... Sharp sun and green grass hold eyes...
The setting sun looks so mesmerising here. Love the feel here. The tonal range in the image comes across as if a grad is used. I would love to see the original here.
