Not one for the "A" list ... you've got too many others that are in a different league. Kinda stinks (1/2 empty vs. 1/2 full) when you have to start culling that hard, but this is one I think you could d cull away, unless it just is a personal fav.
Might be a candidate for artistic rendering, but "as is" the lighting is so flat it just lays there.
Try combining Kent and Aunti's ideas into one - B&W (cause man it makes that elephant's textured skin pop) and cropped tighter with the phant looking into the negative space.

prefer this one, most of all!..but i think the sky is a little too bright!! can you bring it down a bit,, make it BW, but not as contrasty as the other BW on here and no angles!!
yes,,just remove the out of focus grass in foreground a bit,,just about an inch,,but thats my taste and although its not distracting at all i don't think it adds,,very dramatic feel to image now
