This is a great aerial view of these elephants in their habitat! Even though they look small they can be seen very clearly. The sharpness, exposure, and colors are excellent.

A most unusual perspective. I like the barren landscape which seems a bit strange for a riverside. The elephants are fantastic and the composition is very nice. Best of luck in the contest.

All to do with perspective Fred they appear as small dots on the landscape which looks very baron. Nice aerial shot giving us a whole new look at the environment the elephant is living in - well done.

I like your vantage point. elephants are SO big and here they look minuscule just grazing around and getting sips of water from the near by waterway

Quite an interesting nature shot and good entry into the completion posted here! How can you be so sure that the animals below you are elephants? Exposure and sharpness are good. Nicely done!

Haha! Legit, I thought they were ants till I zoomed in.
I don't see enough of these helicopter shots. I'm adding helicopter photography to my bucket list for sure! I love elephants <3

A fine entry for the contest. Your bird's eye offers viewers a sense of dog and scale. The picture has clarity. The colours and the composition of the composition have come out well. Good luck!

Six stars for hitting the jackpot with originality and creativity for this contest. Your composition and perspective sell the shot 100% and it wonderfully clear and well detailed too. Wish a win in the contest.

Your perspective on this composition certainly puts life on earth into perspective. I only can imagine, how tiny a human would be compared to the elephants. Colors and tones are natural as is the entire scenario. My mind extrapolated your scene into space comparing earth to the entire universe. The message is clear to me, our footprint is small and we need to recognize those we do not overstate our importance in the world we live in.
