Lovely beautiful scene of elephants drinking water as the sun goes down in the background. As well the bright fiery orb reflects in the river giving everything that special evening glow. Thanks for sharing this very lovely photo.

An excellent surrealistic composition. For me my eyes focused on the foreground and the pachyderms. After a moment to absorb the scene I am, in my minds eye, in this exotic place. I can smell the scent of the animals, the grasses and feel and almost taste the humidity in the air. The angle of the sun casts a reflection over the river that says "here is the boundary, go no further."
Lighting, composition, camera settings all combine to make this a compelling shot. Excellent work.

A beautiful scene. I especially like the look of the sun setting in the haze. The lack of color and the strong silhouette of the elephants make this composition stand out. Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
Fred,
A beautiful & very peaceful picture of the Elephants on the river bank the setting sun veiled in a slight mist with it's reflection seen as a ray of orange light as if marking the border? I think I can see two female with a calf between them the tail appears to be attached to a smaller animal than the two heads would suggest. The curve of the river & the trees on the far back draw the eye into the heart of the picture. Artistic composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

This is a beautifully composed image with the sun reflecting on the water. The elephant at the waterhole adds to the impact and the color, lighting, focus and dof are beautifully controlled.
