Its really great to photograph an elephant mock fight in such heavy rain. Were you in a boat? I would crop a bit from the bottom as the foreground doesn't add much to the image.
I liked the fighting pose. Wish you had a higher shutter speed. Thanks for sharing.
Look forward to more from Kabini.

Lovely action. Seeing it would have been enough adrenaline for me.
Wish you had a higher shutter speed. I agree about cropping from the bottom. This would look good in B/W as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice action captured.Because of the rains some clarity is lost.

Good work.

This gives a good feel of the situation. I agree that cropping a bit from the bottom would be better. Unfortunately, the shutter speed was low.

It would have been good if the elephants were not angled away from you. It would have been better if they had angled towards you, so that light would have fallen on their heads and you would have got a better shutter speed. Overall, a nice environmental image.

Cheers,
Sabyasachi
