Quite a nice nature shot posted here from the wilds of Africa! Your tightly composed shot gives us a reasonable look at the herd. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Wonderful panoramic view of the line of elephants protecting their young and facing up to the lions - funny to imagine the powerful lions running away. Very good lighting and focus showing excellent clarity. Lovely composition. Suzanne

Nice catch. (Boy you do seem to get around!) I can almost hear the feet thundering on the savanna. The panorama is just right. One teeny suggestion. The guy on the far left is too close to the border. I'd give him as much space as the one on the right. Not much, just a little more. Great pic. Cheers, James.

Wel I wouldn't argue with them. Is there anywhere a more magnificent beast? And Grandma runs the show. A great capture with an equally great story. Thank you so much for sharing. Really, thank you!

Fantastic photo shoot with magnificent bright, clear, and sharp colors. Background colors are awesome for these elephants and reflections on their back is fantastic. Centered, detailed and shadowed properly this is a Magnificent photo and great eye viewer.
Many thanks for sharing.

Comment from Neilnap773
what a fantastic panoramic photo.The frame encompasses the subjects so well as the subjects remain the same throughout subsequently as the viewer works left to right and vice versa there are no distractions as it is all the same across the frame. The focusing is sharp and well structured keeping all the elephants on a parallel plain which gives the picture a good symmetry aswell as a great balance of colours..a great photo..good luck
