Had a quick trip into Kruger this afternoon. The great escape! Unusual
sighting of a Bull Ellie atop a small Kopje near Masorini & a couple of
birds looking for titbits in the Sable Dam bird-hide carpark - a Crested
Francolin & a Yellow Billed Hornbill. Scroll L.

Great shots.  I’d like the elephants cropped in a bit tighter, and maybe a couple ticks darker.

OK Larry - done. I adjusted the levels a bit. I initially didn't crop
very tight because I wanted to show more of the kopje. It was very
bright mid-afternoon.

I like the hornbill shot best .. it shows how miserably parched the land
is without colors being washed out.. and the hornbill is nicely
positioned in the frame...
