Nice shot! I had to think a moment what was i watching. That sandstorm makes unreal and lonely feeling to this photo. Not an ordinary elephant photo. Maybe a bit crop from the top. Not sure.

Nice image. I like the scale. Most elephant shots are very close. This one shows life as it really is. Good job.

This is certainly not what most of us envision when we think of an elephant image, which is why I really like it! Nice composition and scale. I just wish the elephant in the back was a bit less hidden by the first one. Two thumbs (and trunks) up.

The sandstorm really changes the mood of this scene and makes it look surreal. Nice threesome.

Wow! Definitely not your ordinary elephant image. I love the way that gradient color caused by the sandstorm isolates the elephants. The way that each elephants trunk is positioned also draws the viewer's eyes too. Never thought that I would find an elephant image "beautiful", but this one is definitely that. Very well done!
