Elephants were a nice idea... Good work.

They are very bright front on yet they are walking in the shade.

Thanks, There are are few issues with this, shadows, reflections. I could have spent more time on it. That said... I surprised myself, it turned out incredible imo

looks good

Although well executed, you are right....shadows need a LOT of work. Could be a GREAT image with that fix.

man and the child are to sharp,he;s right leg looks its not very well blended, try to add shade to guys face or eliminate shadow on the ground.But idea is vey nice....

nice blending

very nice

lol. i was gonna say that the blending for the elephants is so realistic, but then i saw that they are already in the water from the stock image. also the woman looks like she smelled a doity diaper... pooeee....
