Hi Wanda,

Is it the same elephant that just come out of his bath? Well, his skin his very wrinkled, so it must be because he’s a century old or the consequence of too much time spent in the water...:-D))

The mahout stands out from the jungle, with his red shirt that contrasts perfectly with the green leaves. You’ve done a great composition, with moving space for your subjects.

Well done Wanda! Have a nice week-end!

Hello Wanda. A nice and interesting picture. The man is definitely taking good advantage of this method of transportation. Interesting that this elephant is that old. I wonder now how long they live. Good framing and light in the image. Thanks Wanda.

Hi Wanda,
first recognized by me was the excellent quality of the skin of the elephant. But it is also a good choice for the scene and a pleasant composition. The blurred background helps to keep the focus on the sharp and colourful front.

Hi Wanda!

Beautiful scene, great composition and perfect depth of field. The focus is excellent and so is the sharpness. Beautiful colours, too! The red of the shirt contrast very well with the green tones of the rest of the picture. Congratulations!

Hi Wanda,
A nice compo with well chosen vertical framing in which we see the motion blurred stick going to hit the elephant on the head!Harsh light reasonably controlled and good colors/sharpness.

Wanda,

I like how you used a shallow depth of field to accentuate the elephant and the rider. The focused area is so sharp that elephants wrinkles can be counted. Great composition, too.

Regards,
Erdem
