I am not a fan of cropping animals in half like this Jason, preferring to see more or less of the body in an image. Having said that, I appreciate you were trying to include the flying dust cloud and you've caught this well as its thrown from the trunk!

I think it might have been better if you could have moved a little to the left, so that distracting rock wasn't behind the head, but again I appreciate this was probably not possible and you couldn't tell the elephant where to stand!!

Overall these are just nits, and you have caught the action nicely!!
