Elephant herd

[Dipankar Mazumdar]

Elephant Herd from the Dhikala Chaur, Corbett national park, April 2010

EOS 50D + 300 F4 IS L at f8, 1/400, ISO 100

Full frame, Increased the vibrance a bit ( have I overdone it???)

Look forward to comments

Good photograph. I love the green grass.
Interesting to see 2 male elephants in this herd at Corbett. Was the one at the back also a male?

I feel the framing is too tight.
Dipankar, TFS. :)

Wow! Lovely image, agree with Mohan some more space all around would have been good

Nice environment photograph. It is good that they are facing towards you. I think the vibrance is fine. Is there a calf hiding behind at the end in the right :). Look forward to more.

In this case a slightly higher angle would have ensured complete green in the background. I wish you had clicked when the ear of the elephant in the middle would have been close to the body. That would have helped in avoiding the shadow. Not easy, when we know that the elephants keep on flapping their ears to cool themselves. Slightly less contrast would have enhanced the image. Overall, looks nice.

Cheers,

Nice image. I agree with Sabyasachi's comment on less contrast. Thanks for sharing.

I like the vibrance. I agree about a bit less contrast. Wish the ear flap were facing the other way so that the shadow could be avoided. Thanks for sharing.
