Jagdeep: I’m not a wildlife guy but this is breathtaking. What a magnificent animal in a magnificent setting. I might like a tiny bit more room at the top for the cloud masking Kilimanjaro but I’m grasping for nits here. Wonderful scene superbly captured. >=))>

J Rajput: great good fortune to have been presented with this opportunity. Most photos of Craig that I’ve seen are close ups of him. It is very nice to see him in his environment and especially so with Kilimanjaro in the background. It’s a wall hanger. If it’s a crop, a bit more room top and bottom might be a very slight improvement.

Breathtakingly beautiful. How lovely to see this big elephant where he belongs; in a magnificent landscape. I can appreciate the effort you went to for the images of Craig.

There’s something humbling about realising that this magnificent creature lives his life entirely indifferent to our admiration or our effort to photograph him . He’s just out there, being an elephant, while we stand in awe.
