Nice to see some tuskers. Did you forget to change the settings (ISO 1000)? A narrower aperture like f8 or f11 would have been good. I feel the dead trees in the foreground doesn't add much to the image. Did you try a horizontal composition? Thanks for sharing.

I agree with Mrudul that a narrower aperture would have been better. Are those nets on the dead trees?

I too feel that the dead trees donot add much to the image.
The tusker is handsome...
Thanks for sharing.

Agree with the previous comments. The bottom portion doesn't add to the image. Infact, the nice blue colour and the branches attract attention and then we find that there is no subject there. The elephants are mostly in shade and with the shallow f5.6 aperture the overall image doesn't work well.

Cheers,
