Wow, that looks like one big tree from the perspective of your wide angle lens. It makes for an interesting shot for sure.

I would pull this into PS and use levels to make the blacks really black, as they're rather washed out now. Excellent composition and unusual use of the wide angle.

Interesting and unusual composition, which I like. I too would like the blacks blacker.

Thanks for posting in Wildlife. This certainly works with the motif for the week. I really like the contrast you have created between the tree being so large due to the perspective and the elephants smaller. I wish the bigger elephant at the bottom of the pond was a little more separated from the waters edge so that it was distinct, as distinct as the littler elephant ahead of it. For my own tastes, I might play around with removing the reflections of the other two elephants across the water, because you cannot see them, only the reflection, and compare it to this shot to see which I liked better. Its very interesting and creative and I give you a lot of credit for putting it all together.. Thanks for posting..

Very cool - I like Dennis's suggestion on the reflections.

The unique perspective really draws me into this image. There are so many thing to looks at in the shot. I like it quite a bit!
