I think cropping the image to emphasize the elephants is a good idea, but I would like to see a little more room above the head of the elephant on the right. Elephants command a certain amount of interest but otherwise there is not a lot going on here to hold my interest. The back lighting on the elephant in the middle is especially nice.

Definitely relevant to the theme.

IMHO this wide-aspect panoramic crop seems strangeforthis subject though, and the crop is too close to that elephant on the right for my taste.

Maybe if the empty area atthe left were croppedoff to even the crop so that it was close all the way around that might be an improvement?

the wide crop kills it for me.

Crop is way too tight for me.

Its ok : I mean yes there are three elephants but the point is to be as creative as you can with the theme, this looks like the elephants were just cropped out of a photo with many things in it.Lighing is a bit screwy, the middle elephant.

fun shot!
