Photographer's Note
I was not satisfied with my far depiction of elephants (as shown in my previous shots). I edged closer. I zoomed my lens to maximum. I liked what I saw. I moved even closer. Before I knew it, I was really in the vicinity of their path. Photographing the elephants and the mahouts was pure delight.
Notice the Mons. They look very regal up there. Their girls are always with the thanaka powder. Such beautiful people!

Manuel, here at us such parade does not exist, but the very plesant are work with these animals instead of with all those cars. Very beautiful composition, excellent soft colours, everything sharp and clear!

Hi Manuel, nice photo, the focus is good, as are the sharpness and the colors, but I would have enlarged the view a bit to get more of the front elephant.

Great shot, Manny, and definitely a beautiful add-on to your previous ones. Zooming in turned out a great success here, as we not only get a good close-up view of the people (I like how everybody but the girl seems to be oblivious to your presence), but also the elephant skin is rendered in great detail. Beautiful colors and light, very nice.

Well, Manny, this scenery is something I definitely can not enjoy here, so first of all I want to thank you for sharing it with us! Then want to say what a greatly composed diagonal of elephans and people on them you did - looks so lovely indeed! The colourful details of people's clothes are just the spots that make it so fresh and real. Excellent job!

I like this dark lighting for your photos! They carry a mystery for the far Asia! Excellent job!

A very interesting 'daily life' shot, Manuel. There is something about the colours and the lighting that just makes it so special - especially in the foreground. Well seen and captured.

Well lit & composed. The person in the white shirt provides tonal balance to an essentially dark image.

I like the fact thyat all adults look away from from the photographer and only the girls looks straight at the camera.
More space on the right and at the bottom maybe?

Again, wonderful Manny. I've been asking others this question: what were your processin parameters in PS? Levels, etc.? Again, a great shot.

So close you could sense the lumbering movement of the elephants.And while everyone else looked on the right,the girl is looking at you.

Great PoV you managed for this one. Did you plan for these shots, or did you jsut happen upon them. Anyway, very fine capture.

Wonderful shot Manny!
I don't know where to start...
Your choice of angle is great, I like how you've moved closer. This way you have managed to get many and excellent details of theese magnificent animals.
The people are truly beautiful. The skin tone and the light make them look like bronze figures almost and the shapes of muscles are beautiful and well shown. I love how the little girl stand out in her white dress. I gives an excellent focus point.
The dark, earth colours are amazing.
This is professional and impressive work. Great capture!

A fantastic shot of daily lofe, and maybe als for "Transportation". It is like a 4X4 club of Jeepers, but with living 4X4's. Very good shot.
