Nice stuff, maybe a slightly tighter crop on the #1.
I am loving #2, looks great.

Totally agree with Ruu on the #1 crop.

I normally crop tight, but I've tried a few more "open" images.

Hi... love your elephant shot, just back from India...



And got charged in Africa last year by this fella, panick stricken photo...





I hope you don't mind me bursting in on your thread, if you do just ask the mods to delete it.

Was the Indian Nelly painted or anything? Amazing colours. Also such a large eye. I tried to get some eyes, but they were all covered in dirty eyelashes.

Any more from India?

Love your elephant Merv, nice one.

Merv, your third shot is fab. My only niggle is the colour seem a bit washed or faded. Could just be my laptop though. Def a trip I plan on taking sometime.

Thanks!

That's partly because of how it looked at the time, and partly how I processed (or butcher'd it). A huge amount of the greenery in Africa is dusty and pale, and compared to our freshly washed vibrant greens looks very pale. Also, midday sun makes it look very washy. And I'm crap at PP, so that did'nt help.
