      The elephants all in a line, the dramatic mood created by the dust, the leg position of the front elephant just make this one superb shot for me...I wish I had something like this. excellent work ------------------------------ My website My blog My e-mail

      Great action here, I am not familiar with Addo yet, but is the dust that red?

      Hi Rod. I actually liked that only once you look closer you see the little one. I also really like the contrasting red and green colors. This is the kind of shot I would put up in my house. VWD ------------------------------ My website My e-mail

      Superb comp and action here Rod, gives that classic feel of thirsty Ellies on their way to the water hole. Great DOF getting all in focus, a moment captured that any Tog would be very proud of.......very well done and thanks for sharing. ------------------------------ Wildlife Photographic College of South Africa. http://wpcsa.co.za/ http://imageweb.co.za/

      Super action captured Rod and ditto all the above positive comments! The ellies in front do however not seem as sharp as the one at the back... ------------------------------ "What an awesome privilege to view the wonderful detail of God's creation through a man-made lens..." ----- ----------
