Adrian, I think part of the problem being mentioned comes from the texture in the tree which is reflecting the light and becoming highly contrasting. I don't know whether you pp software allows this, but a feature I like in the Nik Collection is the use of Viveza2 which would permit using a control point to work on the tree and slightly lower the contrast.
I have fond remembrances of my trip to Tanzania where I, too, saw elephants in their natural environment. Lovely shot |

I'm wondering if that power line cut is a ski route in the winter. It looks promising.
The differences between the original and final image makes me wonder if the original capture couldn't possibly accept more exposure. I teach and practice understanding and use of the histogram in setting the original exposure.
Your crop bring much power to the images. |

Thanks for your comments. One of the joys I get from landscape photography is trying to remember how it inspired me and try to recreate that feeling in the final image |

That Canon lens is a beauty. I purchased it before going to Africa in 2008. It was worth every penny. |

In order to have blue in the sky near the horizon, I had to process both images to change the white balance. I had chosen a warmer white balance which did not have blue in the sky. This new version is the result of blending the cooler versions of the original images. See what you think about the changes. |

What a wonderful example of how important post processing is! I didn't usually have access to processing of film so I feel especially powerful in this digital era. Is their fur as prickly as it appears? I love the ears. They are so well shown here. This is a great example of how we can use zoos effectively to add to our wildlife captures. |

Walt, I agree that the texture you captured on the fur is spectacular! If this was entered into a wildlife competition, you might not be allowed to remove the black rock, but for most other competitions, I think it would be allowed. Spectacular image! |

The blurred background serves to provide an environment while allowing the spoonbill to pop. Even though it is very tiny, the sharp eye grabs my attention. |

How close were you to this powerful animal? What zoom were you using. Those sharp eyes really hold my attention. |

The reason I left them in was to enhance the 3D effect that a sharp foreground gave me. I can understand that your idea would also work. |
