[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There are not many things to write about elephants, but there are plentyful to watch.

These elephants were the most daring and came closer to examine the strange one-eyed creatures with the funny hats...

This photo was taken right after the daily 5 o'clock rain.

Beautiful colors and a great silhoute too. The elephant on the right is lacking in detail, I'm wondering if just usiong the one on the left may be preferable. But then you'd loose the three and that would be bad. Despite my gripe I like this strong photo.

Wonderful! Very simple view, yet such a reach scene. I really like the red tons you've created through post-processing.

Very simple but so expressive. Well done.

Looks like the heaven is on fire with all that red in it. The siluettes are very strong which goes well with this magnificant animal. Except from teh wonderfull siluette to the left i also like the tree very much. It adds some sence of surroundings to the image.

I am completely spechless when it comes to this photo Panos! Nothing I say can describe how much I love it! The colours, the silhouettes, the tree, and the perfect balance between the black areas and colour.

Very well captured. I've done a workshop...have a look.

You have taken some awesome wildlife shots Panos! This is one of my favourites, the perfect silhouette against a beautiful african sunset. Instantly recognisable and breathtaking. I wish I had that same view, i'm very jealous :)

Panos
This reminds me why I love this continent so much! The magic and the light, the freedom and the sight - of pachyderms and cats, of exotic birds and bats - sorry, I get carried away

Beautiful silhoutte. Its curve is attractive. See my Picture

Nice composition here. You played really well with the colours, creating a stunning background. The silhouettes of the elephants stands out very well.
All the best
Isabela
