A very nice image, Jagdeep. I like the group in the background as it adds a lot of depth to the image.

A beautiful photo Jagdeep of this big boy in the savanna (I think). I agree with Dennis’ comment; too, the birds add to the sense of scale of this large animal. I also like the angle you chose to portray him. He appears to be missing some tusk, perhaps due to age? The lighting shows off the details nicely.

Jagdeep, this is a fine look at this big boy. The soft light lets him and the surroundings show their details well. There’s an overall gentle, quietness in the view from the light blue sky, the light green grass, the birds and the distant elephants.

Beautiful image Jagdeep. @Mark_Seaver has taken the words from my mouth. There is such a gentle feel about the image. I love the elephants in the background. They play an important role in the scene.

Both @Mark_Seaver and @Glenys_Passier have said what I feel. This guy looks non threatening and this has such a gentle feel to it. The depth that you achieved by getting the two birds and grouping of elephants in the distance gives this scale. Looks like he just finished a nice mud bath. Beautiful image, Jagdeep.

Great scale. Love the openness of the savannah and the elephants in the far background. The lighting really brings out the details and the colors.
