What an unique view this, I really love the front to back sharpness of this shot, the graduated sky and tusker settles so nicely in the frame. Pathbreaking seeing the big mammals.

Wow must have been awfully difficult to compose this shot! and the shadow in a way is more valuable for understanding the way this image was executed! Despite the harsh light on the pebbles the sky has come out really nice! Always nice to see the elephant outlined against the sky!
Hope you guys had fun despite the heat

Very unique low perspective. To add to it, the crossing of elephant (instead of remaining static) gives a feeling of 'something happening'.
Will eagerly look fwd to ur Corbet images.

The pebbles lead your eyes to the elephant. As vmr said, loved the sharpness, and the shadow as you say is not desirable. But we all know, how difficult is to get an image that "we" want. Thanks for sharing Ganesh.

Great new perspective of wildlife viewing. Frankly shadow is the spoiler. How about square crop from the right side of the image.
