Really enjoyed looking at the elephants
I also like the empty train in the other thread. As always the colours are so vibrant, the shot has a geometric feel with the depth of field - it looks simple but I guess quite a bit of know-how is involved.

Reminds me of the medicine warning - "keep away from children" - best advice ever!

You can really see the difference between the two cameras / techniques - the OP pictures really bring out the texture of the elephants and I love the depth of field and the lighting. I don't know if a tripod was used but they are very clear.
That is what I like about the train carriage photo in the other thread - you don't need an exotic subject just let the light do the work - not something I can do as I am also just a point and shoot merchant.

Nice
I like the texture are they carved from wood? I didn't mean to be disparaging about your photos but I just thought the OP photos really made use of the light but these photos also show the elephants to good effect.

I believe they are made from some sort of weed that is causing issues for the elephants in the native lands, Pretty sure the details are in Pen Pushers link he posted
No problem re your comments, I know exactly what you mean, I like you take snaps , so pictures are never going to be of the same standard that Brian manages

In a similar vein, on the school crossing lollipop; STOP Children.
I like the shot of the brave people pushing…
Stay safe?
