Arati thanks for another image to store in mind. Wonderful decision to make this square frame and cropped. I liked every element in this image. Bordering and color of the border is apt for the image. Only correction I would have had is little less of the ground and included the front legs of the elephant in the rear. Perhaps waited for small elephant and the elephant in the rear to attain same posture.

absolutely fantastic compo 'n perfect crop, arati. like the play of parts that makes an 'elephant' ... simply bold 'n captivating.

regards.

Thanks Nevil and Ramesh

Ramesh - shot quite a few in sequence, i liked this stance/ combo most - like Nevil put it, it had the right "play of parts" that made the elephant

thanks all, once again. Ganesh's comment on an earlier thread, where he said comments and critiques stand on their own strength apart from the image, is what makes this forum... so many of all your comments have had me thinking of various possibilities.

thanks!
