I like the lighting on her head and back, as well as the dust that trails behind her. The energy of her movement is clear. The colors of greens and tans help simplify the scene. I wonder if allowing a bit more space to the right of the frame would suggest the need for space in the direction of her travel. However, I do see that this would crop the trailing dust. It may be that balance that is needed. Thanks for sharing this moment in her life.
Exceptional image, as usual. Her action pose and the dust indicate she is in a hurry to catch up with the herd. The dust in the lower right corner helps convey that she is, indeed, behind others. I am curious about the appearance of the skin just behind the right shoulder and the lower part of the right leg.
Thanks friends ! @Jim_Gavin great observation, even I couldn’t interpret it
When I opened the PSD hi-res file, it was wet knee, which was not covered by dust.
I am fascinated by the crop that @Jim_Gavin did. It has a charm all its own. Including just a bit more of the elephant might make an intriguing image all its own.
