Hi Agnieszka,
Spectacular photo from this direction the elephant from a farm with superb details. The composition very beautiful, onto right side you composed the lovely elephant, the farm's buildings show in this manner. The gloomy clouds provide romantic mood to the picture. Excellent shot. Have a nice day

Olá Agniezka, an impressive giant animal, bigger than the houses...he looks so high in the sky and I can imagine that the seat behind him is not good for people with vertigo problems. Good angle of capture and nice timming for the elephant with 'his' trunk rolling over the head.

hello Agnieszka
I like the colours of this picture where the vivid green of the vegetation makes a nice contrast with the grey sky!The elephant has sa very good place in the frame!This is funny because we have the impression that it is laughing!The 2 huts behind it are very typical of this country!A very nice picture to look at!
Bet regards
Pascale

Hello Agnieszka, this elephant seems to appreciate to be the principal subject of this photography, you tallied well the animal, and are a Master, which opens the sight on pretty straw huts, and under a very dense sky a beautiful landscape or the greenery arises ideally, sincerely ..................Bonjour Agnieszka, cet éléphant semble apprécier d’être le sujet principal de cette photographie, tu as bien cadré l’animal, et sont maître, ce qui ouvre la vue sur de jolies paillotes, et sous un ciel très dense un beau paysage ou la verdure ressort idéalement, bien amicalement

Hello Agnyeszka,
Very nice photo of the elephant, the rider seems very proud to be sitting way high up there. It look comfortable but in reality not so. I ride of them a few times, It uncomfortable, I felt like I would fall down and he would just step on me. Ahh....
Anyway, Amazing how in Asia, people would come up with the idea of taming such a giant animal which in theory should be wild, like in Africa.
While the light is not perfect but you did a good job capturing as much details and clarity. Congratulations and thanks
Way

Hi Agnieszka,
This beautiful young Asian eleaphant makes a very striking appearance as he ambles away from the lovely tropical huts.
Wonderful details colors to this exciting scene.

Good morning Agnieszka
I envy you for visiting such beautiful places! The scene is really interesting from rural life in Kanchanaburi. I like the angle you have used which allows for a view of the huts and the imposing elephant on the right.
Have a lovely weekend and TFS

Hi Agnieszka, An interesting daily life photo & what a magnificent beast, I love the two huts in the background, this picture makes me feel I'm there, I love the action of the elephant & the sky (although overcast) still is a great addition, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

I did not go that place yet, maybe another time ;) I like the monsoon atmosphere created by the overcast sky...and the elephant coming towards you! you handled well the low light condition and the natural colors are well rendered.
Cheers

Hello Agnieszka,

They are such majestic animals, even if I don't like so much to see them in captivity!
The composition is well balanced and with apparently fine light in spite of heavy clouds...
The moment is well captured, in this fine setting!

Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Agnieszka,

In addition to the exotic aspect of the landscape, I like the construction of the image particularly. The animal is well positioned in the landscape and moreover it seems to greet you. The natural colors are very pleasant. Beautiful and interesting photograph, thank you Agnieszka.

With all my friendships and a very good evening,

Jean-Charles

A great shot with a difficult but perfectly manned light.

maloutim (4047) 2008-11-18 21:10

Hi Agnieszka!
This is a superb original photo, far from the touristy pictures of richly harnessed elephants. I love the look of the elephant and the huts in the background!
I would have just liked a bit more information!
Cheers.
Marie Louise.

Hello Agnieszka,

This image from two months ago is genuinely impressive, drawing the viewer right into the photograph, but with a tinge of reticence in the presence of such a majestic creature.

There is a great deal of potential in this sky. One recommendation i would have, in the spirit of TE, is to darken the sky, and then to increase the contrast, but tweaking gradually in a series of alternating steps.

Warm regards from Virginia,

Bulent
