*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An appealing image that is assumed to meet the challenge.

The golden grasses and blue skies complement each other well, the inclusion and position of the elephant completes the scene. However, I do wish the elephant was walking towards us it would be far more interesting than its posterior, I also wish the small tree next to him wasn't cropped. It might also be beneficial to correct the slight tilt to the left. Overall its a pleasing image but it lacks impact.

Thanks for your submission, apologies for the delay, Sid

Whilst ubique's Elephant posterior recently garnered a Yellow Ribbon in a Free Study I believe this shot needs the Elephant face or side profile to hold attention and complement the moon and African veld/mountain range.

That posterior looks familiar, but if this is a ubique shot I'm surprised to see it's in color... and it's even flirting with being an eye-candy landscape photo, of course with a twist.

There's a long standing conversation between these two. May it continue unabated for many years to come.
