Great shot. B&W works very well here. I like the dust in the background and the marching pose of the elephants.
Let's hope that they are safe from poaching at least in that area!

Yes, you definitely have to bring in the darker surround to see this at its best Morkel! I love the conformation of this particular herd and its perfect for the pano presentation. Wonderful image!
