Elephant in Nagarhole

Took this photograph last year with my old 350 D camera in Nagarhole national park.

Canon 350D, 100-400mm IS USM

Comments and critiques welcome..

It's nice Mrudul. Although the dense parthenium detracts from the shot. I would have preferred him in open ground. Is this by the side of the main road by any chance? I also feel you can boost the levels and shapening a tad.

Nice image, the mud on back and head adds to the image...Nice feel.
How about more contrast ?

Thanks, will work on the PP.

Apana this was taken in the forest area, just near the road by the jeep.
