Well I have a nit.
Mostly that big boy doesn't look so big. He kind of gets lost in the
landscape, and the trees.
I know you intended to show his environment, and it's good to show him
in his environment, but the upper third of the frame doesn't really
add to the story, and the right most third pretty much repeats what we
see on the left.
I think I would have cropped to put the elephant at the upper right rule
of thirds point, just because that's where most peoples eyes are drawn.
Larry's right, exposure correction makes a big positive difference.

I altered the temperature (Larry) & sharpened the image (Ann). I think
it
looks better now. The Elephant was very pale (sun bleached).

The colors and shapes in the dry vegetation are interesting, but
the
real problem with the shot is that nothing is sharp. The elephant is
burnt out,
he appears white on myscreen.. lots of ways you can get interesting
geometry out of this, but the blur - especially in the foreground is
hard to deal with.
too bad, because it is so interesting

I actually quite like that one. Most of your wildlife shots are
cool
because wildlife. I think that with a bit of cropping (probably
left
and bottom) to move the elephant out of the dead center of the
frame,
that could be an amazing shot.
