Amusing to say the least. I think someone just told a funny story and they are having a good laugh. Clear focus. Good use of the light. Nice extended reflection in the water. Good color. well seen.

A great shot. The raised trunks make this a stand out image. Very nice colors and a great reflection give it fine balance. Best of luck in the contest.

I really enjoyed your story and the creativity of your title. This is an interesting and well done stop action. Including the reflections in the water was an excellent choice on framing the action. Good eye!

:):) Amusing picture indeed! Elephants are smart animals and I am they had reason to salute in unison! Good wild life shot. Good entry for the contest! Good luck!

The timing for this shot was perfect. With the way the elephants are lined up with there trunks in the air like a salute. The lighting is pretty good to.

A pretty good entry into the competition presented here! Perhaps they were practising for a forth coming elephant concert? Like the reflections. Exposure, sharpness and composition are all good. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
An amusing & interesting picture of these five Elephants their trunks raised as if they were about to "Salute the general". The fact they have all just come out of the water might to me indicate they might have seen of sensed a Crocodile or other danger in the water? Their reflections on the water are an added bonus. beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the contest.
