This is wonderful, Jagdeep! The warm light on the line of elephants and birds sets them off well from the blues of the distant mountains and sky.

Jagdeep: very well seen and captured. It’s quite unusual to see elephants in a straight line and without any overlap. The only change you might consider would be to warm the grasses a bit. Excellent otherwise

Nice to see the Amboseli elephants with their inseparable friends posing in line for the photo :slightly_smiling_face: Maybe I would pull up the shadows a bit on the elephants? Grt, Ingrid.

I love to see images of animals in their natural environment. Great view, this line up, with the cattle egrets as extras. I understand the suggestion of @Richard_Sandor to warm up the FG a bit, to have even more contrast with the cool hues of the mountains and the sky.
