Well made, Samyak. Often nature photographers ignore the opportunities to make images when the main subject is not looking at them. What a mistake that is!!

Love the windy road and mood of the frame. I would keep the elephant very very slightly darker. Ya, departing.. I hope it lives longer and for ever... Kazi? or Corbet??

'Pathless Path...! We are alone in this journey of Eternity though we are surrounded by all that we believe our forever companions...... Monochromatic feel deepens the feelings of the unknowable......narrow path to the deep interior is very much objective.....life is the journey of the alone to the alone.....never met......never departed......! Wonderful.....regards.....

Nice image Samyak. Kaziranga I guess. Agreed elephants are on the endangered list so the departing soul connects. But conveys a negative feel to a very nice image.

Liked the way you have made and shown this image.

Thank You, Ganesh, Ghanshyam, Vinayak, Vikas.
