Find a wall, hang it.

Not sure which I like better. One will find a spot on the wall. But then I also have lions, cheetah and leopards I like....🤔

They are both good, but, I prefer the first one.

Both outstanding. My fave is the 1st one you posted. Good luck on your decision.

I'd be hard pressed to pick between them ... although I think I'd lean toward # 2 ... but I have a solution ... build an addition ... a great big addition ... with lots of wall space to "hang 'em all"!!!!! You captured some amazing images on your trip. Going to be hard for me to even come close!!!!! Thanks for sharing.

Fantastic...this one for me!!

I think I would hang the first one, mostly because of the warmer sepia tint. If you did the second in the same style, then, somehow, they would both have to be hung. I have been thoroughly enjoying your photos from that trip.

This is the one for the wall. Why, it tells a story. The other image your eye just bounces back and forth to the two elephants. MHO.

I like both, honestly though, I am more struck by the technique. How did you achieve the blurred background, was That bokeh from the lens, and the black and white with some change in color tone on the elephant skin?

You will do just fine. There are lots of animals and often they get pretty close. The drivers are really what make the difference in getting the right angle/location. Having photographer drivers helped a lot. Did you say where in Kenya you are going?

The background is from bokeh and a little PP with less texture. The color is a high key B&W that I then added a very light warming filter. All done in Lightroom and I'm not exactly an expert at LR!
