This is a very cool shot. I would not change a thing. That’s a “wall hanger”.

That arc of dust is just perfect, Jagdeep. Great graphics and the black and white work perfectly for this.

This is very cool with the light catching the sprayed dust. It works quite well as a black-and-white. I’ve seen this behavior in the zoo setting but never in the wild. The darkness of the background really makes the elephant pop quite well.

Jagdeep: BW is an excellent choice for this photo as it really draws the eye to the elephant and the dust. My only nit would be to address the oof area bottom most by burning or cloning. Great otherwise. Richard
