Beautiful pointed tusks. Nice to see it going about its business peacefully. The tall trees in the background give a nice feel of the dense jungles. Its good you have included less of the road in the foreground. Nice capture. Thanks for sharing.

The composition is fine. However, with elephants one can go much wider and still get an image depicting the mega-herbivore and its relationship with the forest.

Watching a tusker slowly moving at its own chosen pace in the forest is a joy to watch. Too often I find the photographers urging the driver to move ahead. Elephants because of their self-assured and nonchalant behaviour can give more opportunities to create a better photograph than tigers. Tigers are also self-assured, however tigers being predators, when they are on the move they don't give us much time. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
