Image doctor's advice
This is a nice landscape, though it could be even better if you could pull a bit more life out of those lacklustre clouds. You could try adding a graduated adjustment layer or using the Dodge and Burn tools in your software to deepen the shadow areas and create a little more contrast – and impact.
The composition of the picture is effective with the elephants almost mirroring each other from a distance, but it is unfortunate that there seems to be soft focus in foreground and especially the hills in the distance giving a washed out result. There is an abundance of tricks your software can offer to improve this so I would start experimenting to get a more desirable picture.
TIP: Editing software doesn’t mean a failure on the part of the photographer. It’s just another tool, as are camera modes and exposure settings.
